First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for forming an array of supported catalyst materials, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) delivering simultaneously at least four porous catalyst carriers in a dry solid state to at least four regions on a substrate, respectively;
b) impregnating said catalyst carrier with a catalytically active component or a precursor thereof in a liquid medium on said substrate to form an array of supported materials for screening for heterogeneous catalytic properties; and
c) removing at least a portion of said liquid medium.

8. A method for forming an array of supported catalyst materials, said method comprising the steps of:
-
a) delivering a plurality of solids, each consisting essentially of a different catalyst carrier, to a different region on a substrate; and
b) impregnating said catalyst carrier with an amount of a catalytically active component or a precursor thereof on said substrate to form an array of supported materials. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for forming an array of supported catalyst candidate materials, the method comprising:
-
a) packing a solid support component into four or more wells of a first substrate, the first substrate having a substantially planar top surface between the tops of the four or more wells;
b) removing excess solid support component from the first substrate by substantially leveling the packed support component in the four or more wells with the top surface of the first substrate;
c) transferring the leveled, packed supports into four or more wells of a second substrate, the spatial arrangement of the four or more wells of the second substrate substantially corresponding to the spatial arrangement of the four or more wells of the first substrate and having a depth that is less than the depth of the corresponding four or more wells of the first substrate, the second substrate having a substantially planar top surface between the tops of the four or more wells;
d) removing excess solid support component from the second substrate by substantially leveling the packed support component in the four or more wells with the top surface of the second substrate;
e) impregnating the four or more supports in situ in the second substrate with a candidate catalyst or a precursor thereof; and
f) drying the impregnated supports to form an array of supported candidate catalyst materials. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
