Abstract
The invention provides kits, devices, methods, and systems for forming droplets or particles and methods of their use. The devices may be used to form droplets of a size suitable for utilization as microscale chemical reactors, e.g., for genetic sequencing. In general, droplets are formed in a device by flowing a first liquid through a channel and into a droplet formation region including a second liquid, i.e., the continuous phase. The invention allows for more efficient recovery of droplets or processed droplets.
