Abstract: A method for screening a plurality of compounds is used in conjunction with microfluidic devices for performing high throughput screening assays. A conveyor system is used to transport and dispense libraries of compounds into one or more sample port of a microfluidic device. The microfluidic device accesses the compounds in order to screen large numbers of different compounds for their effects on a variety of chemical and biochemical systems.
