Abstract
A droplet detection system comprises a first channel in fluid communication with a carrier fluid reservoir and a second channel in fluid communication with a sample reservoir. The first channel and second channel can meet at an intersection. The sample reservoir can include a sample or partition thereof. During use, an emulsion comprising one or more droplets can be generated at the intersection. The emulsion flows from the intersection along a detection channel to a collection reservoir. A detection assembly that is coupled to at least a portion of the detection channel is configured to detect a signal from the one or more droplets. An energy providing member can be in thermal communication with at least one of the carrier fluid reservoir, the sample reservoir, the intersection, the detection channel and the detection assembly. The energy providing member is configured to transfer energy to the emulsion.
