1. A method for sampling a liquid flow, comprising the steps of:

  • (a) supplying a continuous liquid flow from a continuous flow fluid input source to a surface along a first flow path, wherein the surface comprises an array and/or path of electrodes;

    (b) sampling the continuous liquid flow by splitting off a sample droplet from a portion of the liquid flow, wherein the splitting off is mediated by the electrodes;

    (c) moving the sample droplet along a second flow path to a processing area of the surface; and

    (d) processing the sample droplet at the processing area.
