We present cell gels, a platform for high-throughput multiplexed measurements of transcriptome and proteome in single cells. This method takes advantage of droplet barcoding and hydrogel chemistry to capture mRNAs and proteins in thousands of cells. We report the challenges of acquiring sequencing data from cell gels due to complex mechanisms underlying bead based library prep in polyacrylamide gels. We show the applications of this method in detecting intracellular proteins, sorting based on intracellular markers after cell lysis, and expanding thousands of cells in single droplets.
