title: Formats for combinatorial synthesis: solid-phase, liquid-phase and surface.
abstract: Methods for combinatorial and parallel synthesis continue to evolve in order to meet the demands of modern synthetic organic chemistry. The nature of the support, while typically overlooked, is a key consideration for successful combinatorial organic synthesis. Developments in combinatorial synthesis technologies such as the 'lab-on-a-chip' concept and 96-well-plate-compatible resin plugs have been reported, which should contribute to meeting the increasing challenges of this field.
