  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007329",
  "term": "Microfluidic extraction device",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A miniaturized apparatus that performs extraction operations using channels with dimensions on the micrometer scale. These devices manipulate small volumes of fluids, providing a high surface-area-to-volume ratio that accelerates mass transfer between immiscible phases for rapid and efficient analyte extraction. The entire device, including channels, mixers, and reservoirs, is fabricated on a single chip, often made from materials like glass, silicon, or polymers such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).",
