The invention relates to a method of manipulating droplets in a channel area, comprising: —providing a flow of carrier fluid in the channel area; —providing at least one droplet of a first fluid and at least one droplet of a second fluid within the carrier fluid, the first fluid and the second fluid being immiscible with the carrier fluid; —displacing the droplet of first fluid and the droplet of second fluid along the channel area, successively (a) by a flow of carrier fluid in a first direction and at a first flow rate; and (b) by a flow of carrier fluid in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and at a second flow rate different from the first flow rate.

A biocompatible carbon based electrode, and its preparation process are described. The electrode is formed by first and second biocompatible chemically oxygen terminated or H-terminated carbon-based materials. The first material is configured to promote the growth or at least the direct interfacing of adult neurons on the first material without substantially promoting the growth and direct interfacing of glial cells on the first material. The second material presents a peptide coating to promote the growth and at least the direct interfacing of adult glial cells.
