1. A method of forming cell reactors for performing cell analysis in a microfluidic chip, the method comprising:

  • trapping one or more cells in at least one of a plurality of trapping sites, each of the plurality of trapping sites having a plurality of micropillars configured to trap the one or more cells in an interior space formed by the plurality of micropillars;

    flowing a first immiscible fluid around the one or more cells to encapsulate the one or more cells at the plurality of trapping sites to form an encapsulated reactor array, after the trapping of the one or more cells.
