MICROFLUID DEVICE FOR SEPARATING EMULSIONS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A MICROFLUID DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a microfluid device for separating emulsions, said device consisting of two opposing and interspaced boundary surfaces (4) provided with a region for the supply of the emulsion (1), a discharge region (2) for a first phase of the emulsion, and a discharge region (3) for a second phase of the emulsion. At least one boundary surface (4) has a gradient surface, the surface characteristics thereof including a gradient along an axis (D) of the separating stretch of the emulsion in the microfluid device. The surface characteristics are selected in such a way as to cause the separation of the phases of the emulsion.
