Abstract
The invention generally relates to methods for quantifying an amount of enzyme molecules. Systems and methods of the invention are provided for measuring an amount of target by forming a plurality of fluid partitions, a subset of which include the target, performing an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the subset, and detecting the number of partitions in the subset. The amount of target can be determined based on the detected number.

1-18. (canceled)
A method for identifying targets, the method comprising:
- partitioning components of a chemical reaction into fluid partitions, wherein the components include target molecules and a detectable label that is acted on by said chemical reaction;
- conducting said chemical reaction;
- determining amounts of the multiple target molecules based upon one or more properties of the detectable label in said fluid partitions.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
