Abstract

Methods for efficient and high throughput emulsion-based nucleic amplification are provided. In some aspects, emulsion mixtures are provided that require extremely low input energy (e.g., the energy generated by pipetting) to form emulsions that are effective for nucleic acid amplification. Efficient formulations for breaking emulsions are likewise provided.
