Lab Chip. 2014 Sep 21;14(18):3489-93. doi: 10.1039/c4lc00698d. Epub 2014 Jul 15.

Abstract

A facile microfluidic device was developed by inserting an annular capillary array into a collection channel for single-step emulsification of double emulsions. By inserting multiple inner-phase solutions into the capillary array, multicomponent double emulsions or microcapsules with inner droplets of different content could also be obtained from the device.
