Abstract
The invention relates to a device for carrying out an almost simultaneous synthesis of a plurality of samples. The device is especially suitable for use in automated laboratory processes in the area of combinatorial chemistry. The aim of the invention is to provide a device of this type which enables the synthesis of a plurality of samples bonded to microbeads, said microbeads being provided in the cavities of a support plate. To this end, a plane support plate () is provided with a plurality of cavities () arranged regularly in an iterative grid. The cavities accommodate microbeads (). A removable covering () is provided, said covering being provided with webs () which each cover at least one of a row of associated cavities () in such a way that a capillary gap () is formed between the microbeads () and the webs () and larger recesses () are left respectively between the adjacent webs (). A dosed liquid dispenser () is allocated to each capillary gap ().
