摘要 |
An apparatus is provided for use in solid phase chemical synthesis methods such as the synthesis of polypeptides, peptoids, polynucleotides and other molecules synthesized by solid phase methods. The apparatus includes a plurality of reaction vessels (2, 102, 202, 254) arranged in a substantially linear array (202) wherein the reaction vessels (2, 102, 202, 254) include modular valving means (18, 52, 118, 214) capable of being simultaneously actuated to drain or close each of the reaction vessels (2, 102, 202, 254) in the linear array (202). The invention additionally relates to a plurality of substantially parallel linear arrays (202) of such vessels (2, 102, 202, 254) wherein the valving means (18, 52, 118, 214) of each vessel (2, 102, 202, 254) in a single linear array (202) can be simultaneously actuated.
