Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for selecting and recovering products, including providing an emulsion (6) comprising a plurality of drops (4) contained in a carrier fluid (10), each drop comprising an internal fluid (8), measuring at least one physical parameter for several drops (4) of the emulsion (6), classifying at least some of the drops (4) of the emulsion in a class based on measurements obtained during measuring, tagging at least some of the classified drops (4) based on the class of the drop (4), and selectively recovering the drop (4) or part of the drop (4) using the tag of the drop or part of the drop (4).
Claims20
A method for selecting and recovering products, comprising the following steps:
- providing an emulsion comprising a plurality of drops contained in a carrier fluid, each drop comprising an internal fluid,
- measuring at least one parameter for one or more drops of the emulsion,
- classifying one or more drops of the emulsion in a class based on one or more measurements obtained during the measuring step, and
- selectively recovering at least one drop or a part of at least one drop based at least in part on the classified class of the at least one drop.
