The present invention concerns a microfluidic device or chip including at least one inlet for introducing at least one object into the device; an oil inlet for introducing an oil that supports droplet formation into the device or a droplet forming substance inlet for introducing a droplet forming substance into the device; a co-encapsulation area or structure where the at least one object is encapsulated by the droplet; a microfluidic tubing or channel for transporting the at least one object to an entrance of the co-encapsulation area or structure; an oil supporting droplet formation microchannel or droplet forming substance microchannel connected to the microfluidic tubing or channel to place a liquid of the microfluidic tubing or channel in direct contact with the oil that supports droplet formation or the droplet forming substance; and a droplet microchannel or tubing for transporting the droplet.
