摘要:
A method for parallel processing of a plurality of reaction mixtures and for monitoring the consumption or production of a gas-phase component of the reaction mixtures, the method comprising reacting the reaction mixtures in a plurality of vessels such that the pressure in the vessels changes as the gas-phase component of the reaction mixtures is consumed or produced, sensing the pressure within the vessels, passing the gas-phase component of the reaction mixture into or out of the vessels in response to the pressure sensed within the vessels, and recording the pressure changes within each of the vessels.
摘要:
A reaction block assembly of reaction vessels for conducting chemical reactions under pressure. The assembly includes a heat conductive reactive block having reaction vessel receiving openings formed in the block. A heat exchanger is mounted in heat transfer engagement with some of the exterior walls of the reaction block. The heat exchangers can operate in different modes, to provide a heat differential across the reaction block. A reaction vessel is positioned in each reaction vessel receiving opening in the block. A cap is attached to each reaction vessel and a cannula opening is formed in each cap. A cannula passage is connected at one end to a cannula opening in each cap and it has a septum at the other end. A valve controls each cannula passage. An operating mechanism is provided for opening and closing each cannula passage controlling valve. The reaction block assembly may be used to determine when the reaction of a solution in a reaction vessel is completed. This is accomplished by using a calibration curve comparing the frequency of rotation of the stirring bar with the viscosity of the reaction solution in which the frequency is inversely proportional to the viscosity. The time interval at which the stir bar decouples from rotation with the driving magnet is determined. This time interval of decoupling is compared with the calibration table to determine the viscosity of the solution at the time the reaction was completed which takes place at the time the stir bar was decoupled.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for generation of chemical libraries are described. The apparatus includes a reaction block (140) which supports replaceable reaction chambers. Each reaction block is fitted with four sets of twelve reaction chambers. Reaction chambers are provided with s-shaped trap tubes which run into drain tubes. The reaction block is provided with gas lines and a septum seal such that gas pressurization empties the reaction chambers into the drain tubes. The drain tubes are arranged so as to mate directly with a standard 96 well microtiter plate for the collection of material. A docking station (300) secures registration of reaction blocks and introduces gases and liquids into the reaction blocks (140). An inert atmosphere is maintained in the reaction block by a top and an optional bottom seals. A needle (20) pipettes reagents from reagent containers (44) into reaction chambers. A container rack (90) keeps reagent containers securely in place.
