Abstract

Provision is made, in a device and a process for the synthesis of macromolecules, for reagent solutions to be conveyed through reaction channels (15) which are connected to one another by intermediate channels (16, 17) and are preferably aligned parallel to one another, the reaction channels (15) being so displaced between individual synthesis steps relative to the carrier material acted on by the reagent solutions that, in the new position, the reaction channels (15) cover different synthesis zones from those in the previous position. In that manner provision is made for the synthesis of a large number of different sequences by relatively few synthesis steps.
