| 1. A method for reacting a plurality of materials in parallel within a batch reactor vessel having a plurality of reaction
wells formed therein, each of said plurality of reaction wells having a gas impermeable closed end and an open end exposed
to a common pressure chamber defined by the reactor vessel, the method comprising:
opening a cover of the reactor vessel;
inserting components into the reaction wells;
closing the cover of the batch reactor vessel to create a fluidically sealed chamber;
supplying a gas at a pressure substantially above atmospheric pressure and below or at 1000 psig, that reacts with the components
within the reaction wells; and
releasing pressure from the reactor vessel.
