Abstract

For the combinatorial synthesis of molecule libraries, substances are embedded in a matrix consisting of a first solvent thereby forming transport units in a solid state of aggregation at a temperature of less than 90° C. and wherein after application to a support, the physical environment of the transport units is modified by the application of a physical process such as a laser printer whereby the substances in the transport units are linked to the support.
