1. A system for facilitating reactions, comprising:
a reaction oven;
at least one reaction chamber, the at least one reaction chamber containing a functionalized surface and a fluid;
a rotatable rack disposed within the reaction oven, the rotatable rack configured to hold the at least one reaction chamber;
a motor; and
a controller configured to control the motor to impart rotational motion to the rotatable rack for a period of time and to control a heating element to adjust a temperature of the reaction oven;
wherein the controller is configured to control the motor to change a characteristic of the rotational motion and to control the heating element to adjust the temperature of the reaction oven at least once during the period of time according to a protocol stored in a memory accessible by the controller, wherein the protocol defines a plurality of time intervals, a respective value of the characteristic of the rotational motion for each of the time intervals, and a respective temperature for each of the time intervals, and wherein the values of the characteristic of the rotational motion are randomly selected from a first distribution and the temperatures are randomly selected from a second distribution.
