Standard Deviation of Droplet Fluorescence as a Function of Biological and Drop Volume Heterogeneity

Biological Heterogeneity	Drop Volume Heterogeneity	Standard Deviation of Droplet Fluorescence
3%	0%	6.83 ± 0.17
	3%	7.82 ± 0.12
10%	0%	23.03 ± 0.33
	3%	22.79 ± 0.11
	10%	26.98 ± 0.72

Increasing biological heterogeneity decreased the effect of drop volume heterogeneity on the distribution of fluorescence in drops. Data averaged from three simulations.
