1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a) a carousel that is rotatable around an axis, the carousel comprising a plurality of reaction mounts, each reaction mount comprising at least one reaction well arranged on a radius with respect to the axis, the radii spaced apart at equal angles, whereby the wells are arranged in at least one concentric circle around the axis;

    b) a rotator that rotates the carousel step-wise around the axis, each incremental step docking each of the reaction mounts at a separate station;

    c) a fluid delivery system that delivers liquid to at least one reaction well in each of a plurality of docked reaction mounts;

    d) a drain system that drains liquid by differential pressure from at least one reaction well of each of a plurality of docked reaction mounts; and

    e) a programmable digital computer that controls the rotator, the fluid delivery system and the drain system.
