A device for the addition of a compound or compound mixture to another under various reaction conditions, parallel or otherwise is disclosed. The method and apparatus offer significant advantages over conventional experimental reactors, and is especially useful for synthesizing and screening large numbers of compounds. The device generally consists of a body (10) containing one or more recessed areas (14) surrounding one or more hollow pistons (18) mounted in barrels (30) covered by a top-plate (24) . The recessed areas are filled with compounds. The hollow pistons are fill ed with other compounds. Using gas pressure the pistons move. This movement results in the addition of the compounds contained in the recessed areas to the compounds contained in the pistons. Modifications as found for conventional experimental reactors can also be incorporated in the apparatus.
