Abstract
A device for allowing compartmentalized reactions with minimized cross-contamination between the compartments, utilizing a delivery of material by loading wells to pooling wells, such that the pooling wells can be additively provided with reactants while maintaining isolation between the pooling wells. The use of geometric properties is used to facilitate transmission of fluids/droplets without the need for hydrophilic surfaces.
