(57) Summary The synthetic member (10) preferably has two elements (crown (12) and stem (12)). The stem (14) includes an identification tag (e.g., a transponder (16)) that, when used in automated synthesis of a compound library containing a large number (e.g., 1000 or more) of compounds, has a synthetic member. Used to confirm the synthesis history of (10) and / or the synthesis member (10). The combination of a crown (12) and a stem used in compound synthesis allows for the detection of individual synthetic members (10) from a library containing a large number of such synthetic members (10). Since each synthesis member (10) can be individually tracked and recorded in a database and / or process flow control system, using only traditional compound synthesis methods, in a conventional container (e.g., a round bottom flask), Thousands of individual compounds can be synthesized. |
