Abstract

Method and apparatus for producing combinatorial position-addressable libraries of different-sequence oligomers or different-substituent small molecule compounds are disclosed. The method employs massive parallel synthesis by stepwise subunit addition or substituent addition in a dense capillary-tube array. The libraries allow high throughput screening of library compounds in either solid phase or solution phase, and position-related identification of active library compounds.
