Abstract
The present invention relates to fluidic devices for compartmentalizing samples. In particular, the devices and related systems and methods allow for compartmentalization by using one or more first chambers connect by a first channel (e.g., where the cross-sectional dimension of the first channel is less than the cross-sectional dimension of at least one first chamber).
