Abstract: A system (10) for constructing a library of oligomers containing at least two monomers in a positionally determined array is disclosed. The system includes a first plurality of support carriers (108) comprising a plurality of composite supports (150), a homogeneous array of individual support holding positions for each array of composite supports (150), and each array of composite supports (150). Contacting with a different monomer to provide a first chemical transformation of the synthesis support (150), and each carrier receiving a chemically transformed synthesis support (150) contained in the first plurality of support carriers (108). A second plurality of support carriers (108) each having a homogeneous array of individual support holding positions, and a selected row or column of composite supports (150) from each first plurality of carriers (108) to each second plurality of carriers (108). Moving the support of the second plurality of carriers (150) to at least one second It includes a transfer device (302 from 304) to the conversion, each support position of each carrier to identify compounds thereon. |
