Patent ID: 6864092

Claim:
Combinatorial chemistry reactor apparatus for the parallel processing of reaction mixtures under pressure, comprising vessels for containing said reaction mixtures under pressure, and an injection system for introducing fluid into the vessels at pressures greater than about 10 psig, said injection system comprising: a movable fluid delivery probe; fill ports for receiving the probe, said probe being movable from one fill port to another to deliver fluid; conduits connecting the fill ports and respective vessels; valves for opening and closing said conduits, each valve being operable to open to permit the delivery of fluid from the probe to a respective vessel at a pressure greater than about 10 psig, and to close before the probe is withdrawn from a respective fill port for maintaining the reaction mixtures at pressures greater than about 10 psig after the probe is withdrawn; and seals for maintaining the reaction mixtures under pressure when the valves are open during delivery of fluid from the probe.
