    Abstract: A method for generating a gaseous mixture by means of an apparatus including at least two inputs, of which the first is an input for a carrier gas and the second is an input for a pollutant and at least one gas output, a system of solenoid valves, a microfluidic circuit and a mixing cell, the microfluidic circuit comprising a sub-circuit that can be isolated or connected with the mixing cell by virtue of the system of solenoid valves is provided. The method includes the following steps: a) cleaning of the microfluidic circuit by pure air received on the first input; b) forming a first air stream with a gas received on the first input of the apparatus, sending of this first air stream to the mixing cell and addition of a pollutant in the sub-circuit isolated from the mixing cell from at least one pollutant received on the second input of the apparatus; and c) opening of the sub-circuit by the system of solenoid valves, so that the sub-circuit is linked to the first input of the apparatus supplied with gas and to the input of the mixing cell, the opening of the sub-circuit provoking the sending of a second air stream to the mixing cell; wherein the steps b) and c) are repeated until the desired quantity of gaseous mixture is obtained at the output of the mixing cell.
