186 Structure identification methods using mass measurements US09776184 2001-02-02 US20020051999A1 2002-05-02 Nikolai F. Sepetov; Olga L. Issakova
Methods of identifying predicted or actual structures of members of a chemical or physical library are provided. The methods provide for the direct identification of compound structure following combinatorial synthesis using molecular mass measurements of individual compounds, thereby eliminating the necessity of encoding synthetic steps. The analysis of mass spectrometric data for sets of related compounds reveals compounds that are missing in a group of related compounds and identifies compounds that do not belong to a group of related compounds due to unexpected chemical, physical, or biological transformations. The methods may be applied to any group of compounds originating from chemical reactions where one reactant is common to the synthetic transformation. One particular application of these methods is in the analysis of the products of combinatorial synthesis. Systems, computer programs products, and kits are additionally provided.

A method and apparatus for fabricating an array of biopolymers on a substrate using a biopolymer or biomonomer fluid, and using a fluid dispensing head. The head has at least one jet which can dispense droplets onto a substrate, the jet including a chamber with an orifice, and including an ejector which, when activated, causes a droplet to be ejected from the orifice. The method includes positioning the head with the orifice facing the substrate. Multiple droplets of the biopolymer or biomonomer fluid are dispensed from the head orifice so as to form an array of droplets on the substrate. A gas flow is directed through a venturi which has a throat opening communicating with the dispensing head chamber. A venturi control valve which particularly communicate with an outlet of the venturi, is adjusted to alter the chamber pressure. The venturi may be driven by a source of inert anhydrous compressed gas which assists in maintaining fluid in the head isolated from moisture.
