Abstract

A method for executing multiple chemical programs in parallel in an array of chemical reactors using a single array of substance containers may be provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of chemical programs, building a plurality of records comprising each a chemical program. Thereby, each record includes a key and a data field, wherein the key is indicative of the reactants required for the respective chemical reaction, and wherein the data field includes the chemical program. The method further includes creating an ordered data structure of the data records based on the keys, selecting a next record from the ordered data structure, assigning the selected next record to selected ones of the array of chemical reactors, repeating the steps of selecting and assigning until, as a maximum, each chemical reactor has a defined record assigned to it, and executing the chemical programs according to their defined records in parallel.
