Claim Text:
1. A method of performing radiochemistry synthesis comprising: providing a vial having an upper rim, the vial configured to hold one or more reactants or reactant products of the radiochemistry synthesis; providing a reactor vessel having a heating element and a thermally-conductive heat transfer block, the vial being contained within the thermally-conductive heat transfer block; providing a stationary fluidic interface disposed above the reactor vessel and vial and comprising a plurality of elastomeric stoppers, wherein at least one of the elastomeric stoppers comprises a completely sealed surface and at least one of the elastomeric stoppers comprises a port fluidically coupled to tubing; providing a horizontal actuator coupled to the reactor vessel and configured to move the reactor vessel along a substantially horizontal axis of motion; providing a vertical actuator coupled to the reactor vessel and configured to move the reactor vessel along a substantially vertical axis of motion; providing a motion controller operatively coupled to the horizontal actuator and the vertical actuator; and wherein the motion controller operates in accordance with a program to selectively seal the upper rim of the vial against the plurality of elastomeric stoppers.
