Abstract
A synthesis member preferably comprises two elements: a crown and a stem. The stem includes a tag, such as a transponder, that is used to identify the synthesis member and/or the synthetic history of the synthesis member when used in the automated synthesis of compound libraries containing large numbers (e.g. 1000 or more) compounds. The crown provides the location at which compounds are synthesized. The combination of a crown for use with compound synthesis and stem allows the tracking of individual synthesis members from a library containing thousands of such synthesis members. Because each synthesis member is individually tracked and can be logged into a database and/or process flow control system, the synthesis of several thousand individual compounds in conventional containers, such as round bottom flasks is made possible using only traditional compound synthesis approaches.
