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 21):
The integrated system of  claim 19 , wherein said instrument comprises:\n (a) a tray configured to support and retain said holder, which tray is disposable inside or outside said instrument; (b) a manifold assembly configured to be actuated to interface with said microfluidic device; (c) at least one fluid drive component configured to apply said pressure differential between said inlet reservoir and said outlet reservoir; and (d) a controller configured to direct application of said pressure differential.
