Claim:
1. An apparatus for microwave assisted solid phase synthesis using solid-phase resin beads mixed with a liquid solvent, comprising: a generally cylindrical reactor vial, the reactor vial made of microwave transparent material, the reactor vial having a central axis, the central axis of the reactor vial extending through an interior of the reactor vial, the reactor vial having an inlet and an outlet; a porous frit, the porous frit closing the outlet of the reactor vial, the porous frit configured to prevent discharge of the resin beads from the reactor vial, the porous frit configured to drain the solvent from the reactor vial; and a mixer motor vertically beneath the reactor vial, such that a central axis of the mixer motor is aligned with the central axis of the reactor vial; and a control unit configured to control the mixer motor to rotate the reactor vial concentrically around the central axis of the reactor vial in alternating clockwise and anti-clockwise directions, such that the reactor vial is only rotated around the central axis extending through the interior of the reactor vial and is not shaken.
