  • Publication number: 20040038309
    Abstract: A method is provided for use in solid phase chemical synthesis such as in the synthesis of polypeptides, peptoids, and other molecules synthesized by solid phase methods. The method is used to identify compounds having activity against a selected target, wherein the compounds are present in a mixture obtained from a combinatorial library. A bead distributor probe is also provided. The probe is used to extract beads from a population of beads, and then deliver the bead to a selected location. A capillary bead insert is also provided, as well as a bead distribution system which includes both a bead distributor probe and a capillary bead insert.
