Cytocompatibility evaluation of microwave sintered biphasic calcium phosphate scaffolds synthesized using pH control

► In vitro cytocompatibility is comparable between microwave and furnace sintered CaP. ► Significant cellular proliferation of single and biphasic CaP materials over 7 days ► Novel use of pH during particle synthesis to yield biphasic sintered materials ► Microwave sintered samples can be simultaneously optimized for phase and strength. ► Optimal properties can be achieved without sacrificing in vitro cytocompatibility.
