Abstract:
An integrated system for processing and preparing samples for analysis may include a microfluidic device including a plurality of parallel channel networks for partitioning the samples including various fluids, and connected to a plurality of inlet and outlet reservoirs, at least a portion of the fluids comprising reagents, a holder including a closeable lid hingedly coupled thereto, in which in a closed configuration, the lid secures the microfluidic device in the holder, and in an open configuration, the lid is a stand orienting the microfluidic device at a desired angle to facilitate recovery of partitions or droplets from the partitioned samples generated within the microfluidic device, and an instrument configured to receive the holder and apply a pressure differential between the plurality of inlet and outlet reservoirs to drive fluid movement within the channel networks.

Claim (Index 29):
The integrated system of  claim 19 , wherein said channel network comprises:\n a first channel segment fluidly connected to a source of barcode reagents; a second channel segment fluidly connected to a source of a sample of said samples, wherein said first channel segment and said second channel segment are fluidly connected to a first channel junction; a third channel segment and a fourth channel segment, wherein said third channel segment is fluidly connected to said first channel junction, wherein said fourth channel segment is fluidly connected to a source of partitioning fluid, and wherein said third channel segment and said fourth channel segment are fluidly connected to a second channel junction; and a fifth channel segment fluidly connected to said second channel junction, wherein said instrument is configured to interface with said channel network to (i) drive flow of said barcode reagents and said sample into said first channel junction to form a reagent mixture comprising said barcode reagents and said sample in said third channel segment, and (ii) drive flow of said reagent mixture and said partitioning fluid into said second channel junction to form droplets comprising said reagent mixture in a stream of partitioning fluid within said fifth channel segment.
