Abstract

An assembly of a carrier having one or more reporter beads non-covalently attached thereto which may be used in relation to oligomer libraries. The oligomer libraries may be formed by a combinatorial split-process-recombine procedure. The oligomer library comprises a plurality of molecules comprising a multiplicity of different chemical groups. Each reporter bead has a different marker associated therewith to identify the chemical group attached to the carrier as well as to identify the position in sequence of the chemical group relative to other chemical groups in each molecule of the library. The markers are selected from fluorophores, chromophores, bar codes or radioactive or luminescent labels.
