Abstract
The present invention provides labeled synthetic libraries of random oligomers and methods and apparatus for generating labeled synthetic oligomer libraries. Each member of such a library is labeled with a unique identifier tag that specifies the structure or sequence of the oligomer. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention the identifier tag is a microchip that is pre-encoded or encodable with information that is related back to a detector when the identifier tag is pulsed with electromagnetic radiation.
Claims6
A pre-encoded substrate useful for being linked to a single oligomer structure whereby said pre-encoded substrate bears a unique identifier, said tag being a pre-encoded microchip identifying said oligomer structure.
An encodable substrate useful for being linked to a single oligomer structure whereby said encodable substrate has a unique identifier, said tag being a encodable microchip identifying said oligomer structure.
