Zhengyuan Zhou, et al., "A hybrid modular microfluidic device for emulsion generation". Sensors and Actuators A: Physical 280, 2018, 422. We report a novel modular plug-and-play microfluidic device for versatile emulsion generation, which consists of three parts: a top module for the dispersed phase supply, a glass capillary for emulsion creation and a bottom module for the continuous phase supply. By combining different modules and tapered glass capillaries, single emulsions, Janus emulsions and double emulsions have been successfully produced. The hybrid strategy allows us to produce smaller
