    Abstract: 32 ABSTRACT A method of handling an adherent cell in a microdroplet assaying system by conjugating an adherent cell to a microbead is provided. The method 50 comprises the steps of: loading a first plurality of microdroplets into a microfluidic space, wherein each of the first microdroplet 5 contains a microbead 52 and a first fluid; loading a second plurality of microdroplets into the microfluidic space, wherein each of the second microdroplet contains an adherent cell and a second fluid 54; merging the first plurality of microdroplets and the second plurality of microdroplets to form a plurality of merged microdroplets 56, each merged microdroplets containing the first and second fluids, at least one microbead and at least one adherent cell; and10 agitating each of the merged microdroplets 58 to cause the first and second fluids in each of the merged microdroplets to move such that at least one adherent cell adhere to the at least one microbead.
