Abstract
upstream-downstream integrated platforms, and their use as pre-treatment and analytical tools. The latest advancements in ATPS applications within disruptive bioengineering and biotechnology fields are presented, along with their pioneering use in emerging scientific areas, such as the formation of all-aqueous (water-in-water) emulsions, microfluidic systems, and membrane-free batteries. Overall, this work underscores the transformative potential of ATPS in various branches of science, pinpointing directions for future research to fully explore and maximize ATPS capabilities, overcome existing hurdles, and drive innovation forward.
