Bionic system for countercurrent multi-stage micro-extraction

A bionic system, analogous to the human cardiovascular system, is developed to realize countercurrent, multi-stage micro-extraction. High mass transfer rates and high recovery efficiency were achieved. The system can be applied to any type of micro-extractor and may promote the application of micro-extraction in a wide variety of fields.
