Abstract:
The present invention provides an automated modular system and method for production of biopolymers including DNA and RNA. The system and method automates the complete production process for biopolymers. Modular equipment is provided for performing production steps with the individual modules arrange in a linear array. Each module includes a control system and can be rack mounted. One side of the array of modules provides connections for power, gas, vacuum and reagents and is accessible to technicians. On the other side of the array of modules a robotic transport system is provided for transporting materials between module interfaces. The elimination of the requirement for human intervention at multiple steps in the production process significantly decreases the costs of biopolymer production and reduces unnecessary complexity and sources of quality variation.

Claim (Index 25):
A system for automatically synthesizing a plurality of biopolymers, comprising:\n a controller for directing synthesis of said plurality of biopolymers; a plurality of equipment modules arranged and secured in an array, wherein said plurality of equipment modules comprises a biopolymer synthesis module comprising a first side having a mechanical interface that is configured to receive a plurality of reaction vessels for synthesizing said plurality of biopolymers, and a second side having a fluidics interface for connecting to a plurality of reagents necessary for production of said plurality of biopolymers, wherein said equipment module is configured to:\n (i) receive said microplate through said mechanical interface, and \n (ii) under automated control of said controller, use said plurality of reagents received through said fluidics interface to synthesize said plurality of biopolymers.
