Abstract:
A modular reactor for analyzing chemical reactions in an array of material, comprisingat least two reactor modules, each of said reactor modules having at least one reactor vessel for receiving material therein, and a temperature control system comprising (i) a heat transfer plate as a first temperature control device for commonly biasing said at least two reactor modules to a first predetermined temperature, said heat transfer plate being in thermal contact with said at least two reactor modules, (ii) a separate second temperature control device associated with one of the at least two reactor modules for selectively varying the temperature of said at least one reactor module to a second predetermined temperature, and (iii) a separate third temperature control device associated with another of the at least two reactor modules for selectively varying the temperature of the another reactor module to a third predetermined temperature, said first predetermined temperature being different from each of said second and third predetermined temperatures.
