The side liquid inlet tube of each connection assembly is connected with at least the one emulsion drop generation assembly. The preparation method for the monodisperse multicomponent multiple emulsion comprises the following technical steps: (1) preparing each component-fluid, (2) injecting each component-fluid prepared from the step (1) into the liquid extraction assembly and the connection assembly of the grading micro-fluidic apparatus, and extracting the fluidfrom the liquid extraction assembly to form the monodisperse multicomponent multiple emulsion

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microfluidic preparation of emulsions, in particular to a method and device for preparing monodisperse multiple emulsions capable of simultaneously encapsulating droplets of various components. Background technique [0002] Although multiple methods for preparing multiple emulsions have come out at present, these methods have the following limitations: 1. Generally, multiple emulsions can be prepared by repeatedly stirring and emulsifying the immiscible oil phase and water phase liquid step by step. emulsion, but the multiple emulsion prepared by this method has poor monodispersity. 2. Membrane emulsification technology: Although monodisperse multiple emulsions can be prepared, it is difficult to precisely control the number of droplets contained in the multiple emulsions. 3. Microfluidic technology: Microfluidic devices usually include capillary microfluidic devices, glass microfluidic devices and polyd...
