A modular apparatus (10) for chemical synthesis in which a wide variety of different orgnic chemical reactions can be carried out simultaneously in a collection of simple reaction vessels (500) is disclosed. A modular apparatus (10) comprising a reaction block (100) with an upper surface (102) having an array of uniformly sized depressions (101) in the surface, each depression having a fixed shape and area at the surface; and at least one function block (310, 320, 330, 360, 370, 600) having an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the function block (310, 320, 330, 360, 370, 600) has a plurality of through passages (301) from the function block upper surface to the function block lower surface arranged in an array to match the array in the reaction block (100), whereby the reaction block (100) and the function block or blocks (310, 320, 330, 360, 370, 600) together form a collection of interior spaces in the apparatus for holding a plurality of reactions vessels therein is disclosed. |
