Abstract:
Apparatus for effecting a plurality of independent chemical synthesis which comprises:a rotor module including a plurality of reaction vessels, each of said reaction vessels containing a solid reaction support, said rotor module being positioned between and in leak proof contact with a first stator and a second stator,each of said vessels connected to a rotor fluid inlet and a rotor fluid outlet,said first stator having a plurality of first stator inlets, each in fluid communication with a first stator outlet, said first stator being in contact with a first surface of said rotor module,said second stator having a plurality of second stator inlets, each in fluid communication with a second stator outlet, said second stator being in contact with a second surface of said rotor module,each of said rotor fluid inlets being in fluid communication with one of said second stator outlets,each of said rotor fluid outlets being in fluid communication with one of said first stator inlets,means to rotate said rotor module relative to said stators to effect fluid communication of a rotor fluid inlet with a plurality of said second stator outlets, one at a time and to effect fluid communication of a rotor fluid outlet with a plurality of first stator inlets, one at a time, andconduit means connected to said first stator, said second stator, said rotor and said reaction vessels for passing a fluid reagent through a plurality of said reaction vessels in series.
