1. A composition for sample analysis, comprising:

  • a plurality of compound droplets disposed in a continuous phase, each compound droplet including at least one sample-containing droplet, at least one reagent-containing droplet, and a barrier droplet that separates the sample-containing droplet from the reagent-containing droplet;

    wherein fusion of the sample-containing droplet and the reagent-containing droplet within individual compound droplets to form fused droplets is inducible by heating the compound droplets, and wherein the fused droplets combine sample and reagent to create assay mixtures for performing an assay.
