A schematic illustration for the workflow of the Floating Droplet Array (FDA). (a) General workflow involves droplet generation, trapping for analysis, and subsequent droplet recovery. (b) Step-by-step operation: (i) generated droplets flow into the trapping chamber and float into the wells. After all the wells have been filled (ii), the remaining droplets are purged (iii) and the trapped droplets are then analyzed (iv). Droplets are recovered by flipping the device so that droplets float out of the wells (v) and are sent for downstream handling on- or off-chip (vi).
