Yes, the materials assignment can do that. 

Now you have an argon-droplet in the materials options change those values to whatever you want, and call it "ammonia-droplet" or "Fred", former may be better. The DPM model doesn't tag solver storage until a model is on, so there isn't anyway to add a DPM material until the correct part of the model is active. It's also why many models have anthracite droplets in wall films: people alter the material properties but not the name.
