Abstract:
The invention generally relates to assemblies for displacing droplets from a vessel that facilitate the collection and transfer of the droplets while minimizing sample loss. In certain aspects, the assembly includes at least one droplet formation module, in which the module is configured to form droplets surrounded by an immiscible fluid. The assembly also includes at least one chamber including an outlet, in which the chamber is configured to receive droplets and an immiscible fluid, and in which the outlet is configured to receive substantially only droplets. The assembly further includes a channel, configured such that the droplet formation module and the chamber are in fluid communication with each other via the channel. In other aspects, the assembly includes a plurality of hollow members, in which the hollow members are channels and in which the members are configured to interact with a vessel. The plurality of hollow members includes a first member configured to expel a fluid immiscible with droplets in the vessel and a second member configured to substantially only droplets from the vessel. The assembly also includes a main channel, in which the second member is in fluid communication with the main channel. The assembly also includes at least one analysis module connected to the main channel

Claim (Index 1):
A system for analyzing a haplotype of a nucleic acid, the system comprising:\n a first microfluidic channel configured to flow nucleic acids and loci-specific primers in an aqueous fluid therethrough; a second microfluidic channel that connects to the first microfluidic channel at a junction, the second microfluidic channel configured to flow a stream of oil to the junction to cause formation of a plurality of aqueous droplets surrounded by the oil, each of the plurality of aqueous droplets comprising a single nucleic acid and a plurality of the loci-specific primers; and a collection chamber configured to pool the plurality of aqueous droplets and expose the plurality of aqueous droplets to thermocycling for an amplification reaction to produce amplicons corresponding to two or more loci of the single nucleic acid in each of the plurality of aqueous droplets.
