	Droplet microfluidic techniques can perform large numbers of single molecule and cell reactions but often require\&nbsp;controlled,\&nbsp;periodic\&nbsp;flow\&nbsp;to merge, split, and sort droplets. Here, we describe a simple method to convert aperiodic\&nbsp;flows\&nbsp;into periodic ones. Using an oil extraction module, we efficiently remove oil from\&nbsp;emulsions\&nbsp;to readjust the droplet volume fraction, velocity, and packing, producing periodic\&nbsp;flows.\&nbsp;The extractor acts as a universal adaptor to connect microfluidic modules that do not operate under identical\&nbsp;flow\&nbsp;conditions, such as droplet generators, incubators, and merger\&nbsp;devices.
