Central-Controlled, Function-Oriented Multicomponent Systems

3 Central-controlled, Function-oriented Multicomponent Systems 

However, the variable operations encountered in combinatorial synthesis, particularly when we consider purification and solution-chemistry work steps, place raised demands on the flexibility of such a system, since a multiplicity of sample-specific processes and pa-
