Abstract:
1. An apparatus for performing radiochemistry synthesis comprising: a vial having an upper rim, the vial configured to hold one or more reactants or reactant products of the radiochemistry synthesis; 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; a 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; a horizontal actuator coupled to the reactor vessel and configured to move the reactor vessel along a substantially horizontal axis of motion; a vertical actuator coupled to the reactor vessel and configured to move the reactor vessel along a substantially vertical axis of motion; and a motion controller operatively coupled to the horizontal actuator and the vertical actuator, wherein the motion controller is programmed to selectively seal the upper rim of the vial against the plurality of elastomeric stoppers wherein the fluidic interface is stationary relative to the reactor vessel.
