This method comprises bringing drops to be separated into contact with an interface (40) suitable for allowing an osmotic equilibrium between the content of each drop to be separated. The method comprises an osmotic flow between the drops (20A) of the first group of drops through the interface (40) in order to modify the density of each drop (20A) of the first group of drops and the separation of the drops (20A, 20B) according to the density thereof or a combination of the density and the volume in order to isolate the drops (20A) of the first group of drops from the drops (20B) of a second group of drops.

The invention relates to a method for monitoring a reaction and to a reaction system which are inexpensive, compact, easy to implement, and enable the reaction medium to be fully supervised throughout the entire experiment. For this purpose, the invention relates to a reaction system, in particular for microorganism cultures, including: at least one vessel (M1) for the reaction medium (1, 1'), which is in fluid communication with an injection tube (10); at least one vessel (F1) for a carrier fluid (11) that is immiscible with the reaction medium (1, 1'), which is in fluid communication with a reaction tube (20); the injection tube (10) being mounted so as to lead into the reaction tube (20) such that individual drops (30) of the reaction medium can be injected into the reaction tube (20) and into the immiscible carrier fluid (11), so as to form a train of reaction chambers; at least one detector for monitoring a reaction; a means for classifying the reaction chambers; and at least one means for recirculating reaction chambers in front of at least one detector for monitoring a reaction.

The present invention relates to a method for reading an emulsion (3) comprising drops and a continuous phase surrounding the drops, wherein said method comprises: two-dimensional scanning of the emulsion (3), and construction of a two-dimensional image of the emulsion (3) on the basis of said scanning. Preferably, the drops do not move during the scanning, this being achieved, for example, by solidifying the continuous phase or by using a compact or semi-compact two-dimensional network of drops. The method according to the invention may also comprise monitoring over time a chemical or biological reaction taking place in at least one of the drops. The invention also relates to a device which implements this method. Use in the detection and/or sorting of microdrops playing the role of microreactors or containing specific cells or molecules, in fields such as gene expression or diagnosis.

摘要:
La présente invention concerne un procédé de lecture d'une émulsion (3) comprenant des gouttes et une phase continue entourant les gouttes, ledit procédé comprenant : - un balayage bidimensionnel de l'émulsion (3), et - une construction d'une image bidimensionnelle de l'émulsion (3) à partir dudit balayage. De préférence, les gouttes ne bougent pas pendant le balayage, par exemple en solidifiant la phase continue ou en utilisant un réseau bidimensionnel compact ou semi compact de gouttes. Le procédé selon l'invention peut comprendre en outre un suivi dans le temps d'une réaction chimique ou biologique se déroulant dans au moins une des gouttes. L'invention concerne aussi un dispositif mettant en œuvre ce procédé. Application à la détection et/ou le tri de microgouttes jouant le rôle de microréacteurs ou contenant des cellules ou des molécules spécifiques, dans des domaines tels que l'expression de gènes ou le diagnostic.
