Abstract: The present invention provides a chemical reaction apparatus for synthesizing an array of compounds and methods for using the same. In particular, the chemical reaction apparatus of the present invention comprises a solid support base, a first elastic member attached to the solid support base, and a first plurality of flow channels between the solid support base and the first elastic member. In addition, the solid support base comprises a functional group within at least a portion of the first plurality of flow channels for attaching compounds thereto. Optionally, the chemical reaction apparatus may further comprise a second plurality of flow channels which are in a different direction than the first plurality of flow channels. Moreover, the chemical reaction apparatus of the present invention can also include a second elastic member attached to the first elastic member. A plurality of pressure channels present in between the first and the second elastic members allows control of fluid flow within the first plurality of flow channels and/or the second plurality of flow channels.
