Abstract
This disclosure provides for devices, methods, and systems for generating a plurality of droplets within a collecting container at an extremely high rate (e.g., of at least 1 million droplets per minute, etc.), the plurality of droplets generated from an aqueous mixture comprising a set of single cells and a set of functionalized particles configured for a single cell assay. Upon generation, the plurality of droplets can be stabilized in position within a region of the collecting container, thereby providing a single-tube workflow for single cell analyses. Further, compositions implemented are structured to allow for overloading of partitions with functionalized particles, such that partitioned single-cells are co-localized with a subset of functionalized particles in a manner that allows for discernable tagging and downstream analyses.
