Bottom attachment plate is placed in the assembly stand. A reactor vial array is inserted into the attachment plate. Reactor vial array is secured to the attachment plate with screws. Reagents and solvents are added to the reactor vials. Cover with gasket is secured to the bottom attachment plate sealing the reactor vials.
Assembly is ready to be incubated and agitated.
In this position, inert gas can be drawn through the system, replacing the aIr in the vials. After purging, the cover is drawn down to seal the vials. The FlexChem II Sealing Cover can be used to form a sealed compartment above the vials to allow purging of air and gases from the system. A base with a microplate footprint is used to hold the vials when used with equipment. The FlexChem II Synthesis System is compatible with many instruments including the FlexChem line of dispensers and ovens.
