There are three major ways that multiple compounds are applied to slices: by bath, via a U-tube device, or by pressure application using a "puffer" pipette.
Diversity-Oriented Synthesis (DOS), also known as combinatorial synthesis, is a process, by which multiple compounds are generated simultaneously, in a predictable fashion using techniques that involve parallel chemical transformations.
Based on this, a single-cell biorefinery concept, namely, a single-cell factory that coutilizes different components in biomass or waste material and coproduces value-added multiple compounds, is proposed and discussed.
Currently, the release of multiple compounds is mainly controlled by polymer degradation, molecular diffusion, or a combination of both.
Careful experimental work will be needed in order to demonstrate that multiple compounds are in fact produced and confer benefits in vivo [ 19].
Higher-order activity cliff configurations involving multiple compounds are of particular interest for medicinal chemistry, given their high SAR information content.
In addition, the importance of mixture effects of low-dose exposure to multiple compounds is becoming evident from animal studies but remains to be studied in humans (Hass et al. 2007; Kortenkamp et al. 2007).

"Bornean caterpillar (Lepidoptera) constructs cocoon from Vatica rassak (Dipterocarpaceae) resin containing multiple deterrent compounds" is published in Volume 49, Issue 9-10, pages 553-560 of the Journal of Natural History.
The effects of consuming foods containing multiple chemical compounds are not well understood.
Variation in bacteriostatic and bactericidal activities between species and extracts indicates that multiple effecter compounds are present in these plant species.
