N2 - We report the continuous and passive separation of main and satellite droplets using a deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) array coupled with a symmetric microfluidic droplet generator. In addition to the collection of the main water-in-oil droplets at 100% purity, fractionation of satellite populations of different sizes could be achieved through the multi-step hydrophobic DLD regions. Moreover, separation of main and satellite biphasic oil-in-water droplets was successfully demonstrated using a hydrophilic DLD device. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the microfluidic separation of main and satellite droplets produced in a purely symmetric system.
