1. An integrated system for processing samples comprised of various fluids for analysis, the system comprising:

  • (a) a microfluidic device including a plurality of channel networks for partitioning the samples into partitioned samples, the plurality of channel networks being connected to a plurality of inlet and outlet reservoirs;

    (b) a holder including a closeable lid hingedly coupled thereto,wherein in a closed configuration, the closeable lid secures the microfluidic device in the holder, andwherein in an open configuration, the closeable lid comprises a stand orienting the microfluidic device at an angle to facilitate recovery of the partitioned samples; and

    (c) an instrument configured to receive the holder and apply a pressure differential between the plurality of inlet and outlet reservoirs to drive fluid movement within the plurality of channel networks.
