An assay performance system may include modules configured to store aqueous sample plates, conduct droplet generation or emulsification of aqueous samples, and to perform thermocycling and droplet reading functions. One or more samples may be emulsified and stored in an emulsified state for extended times prior to thermocycling. Accordingly, the assay performance system may include material handling systems and methods to accommodate the storage function. 测定执行系统可包括配置成储存水性样品板、进行水性样品的液滴产生或乳化以及执行热循环和液滴读取功能的模块。在热循环之前，可将一种或多种样品乳化并以乳化状态储存较长的时间。相应地，测定执行系统可包括材料运送系统和适应储存功能的方法。
