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 microwave cavity, the vial being contained within the microwave cavity, wherein the microwave cavity is configured to provide microwave energy to the one or more reactants or reactant products in the vial; a control unit configured to control heating within the microwave cavity; a fluidic interface disposed above the microwave cavity and stationary with respect to the same, 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; a horizontal actuator coupled to the microwave cavity and configured to move the microwave cavity along a substantially horizontal axis of motion; a vertical actuator coupled to the microwave cavity and configured to move the microwave cavity 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.
