1. A method, comprising:

  • providing a fluidic droplet containing a plurality of species;

    causing the fluidic droplet to form a gel droplet containing the plurality of species, wherein the plurality of species are bound to the gel droplet;

    exposing the gel droplet to a reactant, thereby exposing the plurality of species within the gel droplet to a reactant which is reactive with at least one of the plurality of species; and

    synthesizing a reaction product from at least one of the plurality of species using the reactant wherein the reaction product is bound to the gel droplet.
