    Abstract: A manifold block and valving system using the manifold block are provided, which are used for conducting chemical reagents, solvents, and other fluids. The manifold block includes a "straight-through" common passage in fluid connection with several entry ports, including also a number of projections in the common passage in the vicinity of the entry ports. These projections partially obstruct the fluid flow, causing a turbulence that provides a washing action in those port regions. The manifold may be constructed of a photosensitive glass ceramic such as Fotoceram.TM. which consists of a number of layers which have been processed to form the manifold block, or of other suitable materials such as silicon.

    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for automatically constructing a polypeptide of high purity, up to 50 amino acids in length, using only single couplings. The apparatus includes an activation system for receiving protected amino acids, one kind at a time, having a common vessel (an activator vessel) in which to activate each of the amino acids. Also included is a reaction vessel for containing a resin used in solid-phase peptide synthesis for attaching a peptide chain thereto. A transfer system is also provided, which operates under control of a computer, to transfer the activated species from the activation system to the reaction vessel and to transfer amino acids, reagents, gases, and solvents from one part of the apparatus to another. The activator system also includes a temperature controlled concentrator vessel in which an activator solvent is replaced by a coupling solvent to enhance the coupling of the activated species to the peptide chain in the reaction vessel. Also included in the synthesizer system is a vortexer for affecting total washing of materials in the reaction vessel and the reaction vessel itself, an automated peptide resin sampling system, and an autodelivery system for providing individual containers of amino acid to the synthesizer in the order desired in the peptide sequence. A liquid sensor system is also included to monitor transitions between gases and liquids in specific tubes in the synthesizer in order to provide input signals to the computer system for control purposes. The computer system software which controls the operation of the synthesizer is organized according to a series of menus which allows the user of the system to select individual cycles of operation for each vessel in the synthesizer. In addition, an algorithm has been developed which provides for optimum efficiency in the production of a peptide for any given selection of cycles.

    Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, supports upon which one or more species can be adsorbed, captured, or immobilized for biochemical procedures. In various embodiments, the supports include a plurality of deformable petal-like members that provide binding sites for biochemical species. The invention provides an apparatus and method for the ready insertion of the petal-like members into respective wells of a multi-well microplate (e.g., a standard-format 96- or 384-well plate).
