The invention relates to a method for recuperating droplets (4), comprising the following steps: - supplying a chip (20) comprising a fluid circulation duct (46), - injecting an emulsion (6) of droplets, - injecting a carrier fluid (26) to form a working fluid (28) containing droplets of the emulsion which are spaced apart along the duct, - conveying the working fluid through the duct, - injecting a separating fluid (33) in order to separate the working fluid into a plurality of successive pockets (35), each pocket being isolated from the next pocket by a separator (80), - conveying the pockets and separators towards an outlet (66) of the chip, - recuperating in a compartment (82) of a recuperation support (34) at least one pocket containing a droplet recuperated after conveying.
