Apparatus for parallel processing of reaction mixtures

摘要

Apparatus for parallel processing of reaction mixtures comprising a reactor block having a series of wells therein extending from an exterior surface of the block, a removable plate removably secured to the reactor block face-to-face with said exterior surface, the removable plate having openings therein in registry with the wells in the reactor block, removable liners in the wells for containing the reaction mixtures, a temperature control system for regulating the temperature of the reaction mixtures, and a stirring system attached to the removable plate and removable with the removable plate for agitating the reaction mixtures, the stirring system comprising spindles extending into respective wells, each of the spindles having a first end and a second end, stirring blade attached to the first end of each of the spindles, a drive mechanism located external to the vessels that is adapted to rotate the spindles, and magnetic feed through devices for magnetically coupling the drive mechanism to the second end of each of the spindles.
