Method for tracking compounds in solution phase combinatorial chemistry

摘要

A method for the generation of chemical libraries using machine-readable passive tagging systems is described. The preferred embodiment uses radiofrequency tags or one- or two-dimensional bar codes to track vials and the contents therein throughout the course of the synthesis. This abrogates the need for specialized combinatorial chemistry equipment, allowing the use of standard laboratory baths, ovens, shakers and racks, as well as manual fluid handling techniques.
