Abstract
The present invention is generally related to systems and methods for producing a plurality of droplets. The droplets may contain varying species, e.g., for use as a library. In some cases, the fluidic droplets may be rigidified to form rigidified droplets (e.g., gel droplets). In certain embodiments, the droplets may undergo a phase change (e.g., from rigidified droplets to fluidized droplets), as discussed more herein. In some cases, a species may be added internally to a droplet by exposing the droplet to a fluid comprising a plurality of species.

28. A method, comprising:
-
providing a plurality of rigidified droplets, comprising; a first group of rigidified droplets, wherein droplets in the first group comprise a first species; and a second group of rigidified droplets, wherein droplets in the second group comprise a second species, wherein the first species and the second species are distinguishable with respect to each other; and fluidizing at least a portion of the rigidified droplets to form a plurality of fluidized droplets. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
