Abstract: Methods of partition-based analysis. In an exemplary method, a device having a port fluidically connected to a chamber may be selected. A sample-containing fluid may be placed into the port. The sample-containing fluid may be moved from the port to the chamber. Partitions of the sample-containing fluid may be formed. A monolayer of the partitions in the chamber may be created. At least a portion of the monolayer may be imaged.

Abstract: System, including methods and compositions, for making and using emulsions that include a silicone oil and a silicone surfactant. The emulsions may include aqueous droplets disposed in a continuous phase that includes a silicone oil and a silicone surfactant. The aqueous droplets may contain an analyte, optionally at partial occupancy, and/or a luminescent (e.g., photoluminescent) reporter. An assay of the analyte may be performed with the droplets. In some cases, signals may be detected from the droplets, and a characteristic of the analyte, such as an analyte level or activity, may be determined based on the signals.

Abstract: Devices and methods for generating droplets. An exemplary device comprises a substantially planar base portion including a bottom surface having a plurality of microfluidic channels formed therein as recessed regions of the bottom surface. The device also comprises a plurality of protrusions projecting from a top surface of the base portion and each formed integrally with the base portion. The device further comprises a sample well, a carrier well, and a droplet well. Each well has an upper portion created by one of the protrusions. A cover layer is attached to the bottom surface of the base portion and seals a bottom side of each microfluidic channel.

Abstract: Method of detecting a signal from droplets for instrument calibration. In the method, a calibration standard for a droplet detection instrument may be received. The calibration standard may have been shipped at least one kilometer when received. The calibration standard may include a mixture of first droplets and second droplets. Each of the first and second droplets may be encapsulated by an immiscible carrier liquid and may have a stabilizing droplet skin that is formed by heating and that includes a skin-forming protein. Each the first droplets may contain a fluorescent dye, and each of the second droplets may contain a fluorescent dye. A fluorescence signal may be detected from a plurality of the first and second droplets with a droplet detection instrument. The fluorescence signal may be stronger for the first droplets than the second droplets.

Abstract: System, including methods, apparatus, and kits, for forming and concentrating emulsions. An exemplary system may comprise a device including a sample well configured to receive sample-containing fluid, a continuous-phase well configured to receive continuous-phase fluid, a droplet well, and a channel network interconnecting the wells. The system also may comprise an instrument configured to operatively receive the device and to create (i) a first pressure differential to produce an emulsion collected in the droplet well and (ii) a second pressure differential to decrease a volume fraction of continuous-phase fluid in the emulsion, after the emulsion has been collected in the droplet well, by selectively driving continuous-phase fluid, relative to sample-containing droplets, from the droplet well.
