New methods in combinatorial chemistry-robotics and parallel synthesis.
Technological advances in the automation of parallel synthesis are following the model set by the semiconductor industry: miniaturization, increasing speed, lower costs. Recent work includes preparation of high-density reaction blocks, development of ink-jet dispensing to polypropylene sheets and synthesis inside customized microchips.
