1. A device for synthesizing biopolymer comprising:

  • a fixed polypropylene support having a surface activated for attaching bipolymers;

    an applicator for applying reagents to said activated surface, the applicator contacting said activated surface;

    positioning means for positioning the applicator with respect to the activated surface in first and second positions;

    reagent supply means for distributing reagents to said activated surface to synthesize a first one-dimensional array of biopolymers in said first position and a second one-dimensional array of biopolymers in said second position, the positioning means positioning the first and second positions such that said second one-dimensional array overlaps the first one-dimensional array to form a two-dimensional array of cells at overlapping regions on said surface in each of which a third biopolymer is obtained which includes corresponding biopolymer strands from said first and second arrays.
