Summary

A simple microfluidic device using a DC electric field between two microwires in a straight channel was developed to simultaneously extract and detect microplastics from water via electrophoretic accumulation. The compact design offers a rapid, low-cost approach to microplastic monitoring.

DC electric field between two microwires in a straight microchannel was employed to electrophoretically accumulate and detect microplastics in water.
