AUTOMATIC SYNTHESIS APPARATUS

摘要

An automated synthesis apparatus which is suitable for preparing various kinds of samples in small quantities for pharmacological evaluation, eliminates the need to clean pipetting means for reaction solvent and mixture stirring means, obviates the likelihood of contamination and is diminished in noise. The apparatus comprises container holders (2), (3) for stowing therein a plurality of liquid containers (10), (13) each containing a reaction solvent to be transferred, a nozzle tip holder (4) for stowing therein disposable nozzle tips (15), a rotary shaker (6) having a reaction vessel stand (38) for shaking a plurality of reaction vessels (48) as placed therein, and a pipetting device (7) movable between each of the holders (2), (3), (4) and the reaction vessel stand (38) of the rotary shaker (6) and removably fittable with the nozzle tip (15) automatically for sucking the liquid from the liquid container (10) or (13) into the fitted nozzle tip (15) and discharging the solvent into the reaction vessel (48). <IMAGE>
