Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR POLYMER SYNTHESIS USING ARRAY
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3862726
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polymer synthesis apparatus and method for building a sequence-defined polymer chain.
SOLUTION: The polymer synthesis method and apparatus (20) for forming a polymer chain, comprises a head assembly (21) having nozzles (22) with each nozzle coupled to a reservoir (23) of a liquid reagent (24), and a base assembly (25) having reaction wells (26). A gas inlet (70) into the common chamber (31) upstream from the nozzles (22), and a gas outlet (71) out of the common chamber (31) downstream from the nozzles (22), sweeps the common chamber (31) of toxic fumes emitted by the reagents. A pressure regulating device (82) is provided for controlling a pressure difference, between pressure exerted on the reaction well (26) and pressure exerted on an exit (80) of the orifice (74), such that upon the pressure difference exceeding a predetermined amount, the reagent solution (76) is expelled.
