Abstract
An apparatus for analyzing a plurality of compounds is used in conjunction with microfluidic devices for performing high throughput screening assays. A conveyor system delivers libraries of compounds to a microfluidic device which accesses the compounds in order to screen large numbers of different compounds for their effects on a variety of chemical and biochemical systems.
