Schematic of the entire coalescence workflow with labelled inlets (top) and close-ups of key positions (bottom). At position (1), reinjected droplets are enveloped by an aqueous reagent phase in a hydrophilic channel. The resulting double emulsion travels to a hydrophobic junction at (2) where carrier oil encapsulates it to form a triple emulsion. At (3), the encapsulated double emulsion is ruptured with an electric field.
