1. A reaction assembly for synthesis of oligomers of random sequence subunits on fluidized solid supports comprising:
- a plurality of synthesizer columns for containing the fluidized solid supports during addition of a monomer subunit to the oligomer;
a static mixer in fluid communication with each of the synthesizer columns via a plurality of conduits; and
a mixing chamber in fluid communication with the static mixer.

Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described for split synthesis combinatorial chemistry that provides candidate libraries where an even distribution of theoretical products is obtainable through even mixing during the pooling step, followed by controlled redistribution of the mixed pooled products from the prior addition step into separate synthesis columns, one for each different specie of subunit to be added.

8. A synthesizer for combinatorial chemistry comprising:
a plurality of synthesizer columns adapted to retain solid reaction supports within the columns during a series of reaction steps, each column comprising a reagent fluid path controlled by inlet and outlet reagent valves disposed on essentially opposing ends of each column, and a mixing fluid path controlled by first and second mixing valves disposed on essentially opposite ends of each column, wherein the mixing fluid path is able to transport a stream of fluidized solid supports into the synthesizer columns for the series of reaction steps as well as out of the synthesizer columns and into a common mixing chamber between reaction steps. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
