Abstract
A method of forming a solid-phase support, the method including the steps of providing a substrate having a reaction vessel, dispensing a particle in the reaction vessel, and permanently bonding the particle in the substrate within the reaction vessel. The particle may include a microbead. The particle may include controlled pore glass. A method of synthesis is also disclosed that includes including the steps of providing a solid-phase support including a particle embedded to the substrate adjacent a surface of substrate, the particle being functionalized to covalently attach an intermediate compound of a synthetic reaction, dispensing a liquid including a reagent to the solid-phase support to effect the synthetic reaction, and removing the liquid from the solid-phase support by centrifugation, whereby the intermediate compound remains attached to the substrate by the particle.
