1. A system comprising:

  • a substrate defining a set of chambers defined at a broad surface, wherein each chamber in the set of chambers is configured to retain a respective single particle of a set of particles and comprises;

    a set of walls defining a chamber volume, andan open surface permitting access of the respective single particle to the chamber volume from a direction perpendicular to the broad surface of the substrate,wherein the set of walls of each chamber of the set of chambers fluidly isolates adjacent chambers of the set of chambers, and wherein fluid received at the inlet channel enters each chamber only by way of the open surface of each chamber; and

    an inlet channel positioned superior the set of chambers and directly fluidly coupled to the set of chambers, whereby fluid received at the inlet channel is configured to concurrently access each of the chambers in the set of chambers at the open surface of each chamber, and wherein the system is configured to receive a distribution of a reagent fluid in a direction substantially parallel to the broad surface through the inlet channel and to permit access of the reagent fluid to the set of chambers.
