This method comprises bringing drops to be separated into contact with an interface () suitable for allowing an osmotic equilibrium between the content of each drop to be separated. The method comprises an osmotic flow between the drops (A) of the first group of drops through the interface () in order to modify the density of each drop (A) of the first group of drops and the separation of the drops (A,B) according to the density thereof or a combination of the density and the volume in order to isolate the drops (A) of the first group of drops from the drops (B) of a second group of drops.
