A system for combinatorial processing is provided. The system includes a plurality of reactor cells. Each of the plurality of reactor cells includes a vertical recess extending along a length of the outer surface of the plurality of reactor cells. The vertical recess is operable to receive a vertical rail. The system also includes a plurality of horizontal rails extending between rows of the plurality of reactor cells. Each of the plurality of horizontal rails has a member slidably mounted thereon. The member is coupled to the vertical rail thereby enabling independent horizontal and vertical movement for each of the plurality of reactor cells.
