1. A method of conducting a reaction within at least one plug comprising the steps of:

  • introducing a carrier-fluid into a device comprising a first channel in fluid communication with a first;

    simultaneously introducing at least two streams of plug-fluids into the first inlet so that at least one plug forms in the carrier-fluid after the streams contact the carrier-fluid;

    wherein;

    a first plug-fluid comprises a first reagent;

    a second plug-fluid comprises a second reagent different from the first reagent, each plug-fluid is immiscible with the carrier-fluid; and

    each plug comprises both the first and second plug-fluids so that the reagents may undergo the reaction, each plug is substantially surrounded by carrier.
