Abstract: A method for breaking emulsions includes applying a polymer mixture to an emulsion. The emulsion can be energized, such as through centrifugation or vibration. In particular, the polymer mixture can be in liquid form. The polymer mixture includes first and second liquid polymer, the second liquid polymer being less hydrophilic than the first liquid polymer. In a water-in-oil emulsion, the less hydrophilic polymer can preferentially reside within the oil phase.

Abstract translation: 用于破乳的方法包括将聚合物混合物施加到乳液上。 乳液可以被通电，例如通过离心或振动。 特别地，聚合物混合物可以是液体形式。 聚合物混合物包括第一和第二液体聚合物，第二液体聚合物的亲水性低于第一液体聚合物。 在油包水乳液中，亲水性较差的聚合物优先存在于油相中。

Abstract: A sample preparation apparatus includes a robotic system providing movement in three orthogonal directions to an arm operable to receive a pipette tip and to facilitate movement of fluid into and out of the pipette tip. Optionally, the robot can include a gripper arm in addition to the pipette receiving arm. In addition, the sample preparation apparatus can include a tray for receiving pipette tips, receptacles for receiving tubes, an apparatus for forming an emulsion, a device for forming particles that include copies of the polynucleotide, a device for enriching the particles, as well as a centrifuge for loading such particles onto a sensor array. The sample preparation apparatus can further include receptacles for holding containers of reagent solutions.
