Abstract

We present a simple technique for the concentration of liquid samples in microfluidic devices applicable for single or multiple-phase configurations. The strategy consists of capturing the sample of interest within microfluidic traps and breaking its continuity by the introduction of a gas phase, which is also used to evaporate it.
