Abstract: Microfluidic devices and methods that introduce ions into, and extract ions from, water-in-oil nanoliter scale droplets are disclosed. The droplets are in simultaneous contact with both an anion-permselective membrane and a cation-permselective membrane at opposing sides. When a voltage bias is applied across the system, anions and cations migrate across the respective permselective membranes and either into or out of the droplet.
