Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for controlling and monitoring the progress and characteristics of more than one reaction for monitoring and controlling a process and displaying/analyzing data by using a computer. SOLUTION: The apparatus includes more than one vessel 102 for holding the reaction mixture and a system for controlling the rotation speed of a stirring blade 108 and the temperature of each reaction mixture or a group of the mixtures so as to be effective in the synthesis, screening and characterization of combined chemical library and further can include equipment for controlling independently pressures of respective vessels and a system for injecting a liquid to the vessel under the pressure other than the atmospheric pressure. Respective reaction mixtures are monitored, and monitored results are fed back to a process controller, then the data for deciding various characteristics including the reaction rate, product yield, viscosity and molecular weight of the reaction product can be obtained.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and a method which is for controlling and monitoring the progress of plural reactions and the characteristics, particularly effective for the synthesis, screening and characterization of a combination chemical library and has important advantages as compared to the conventional experimental reactor. SOLUTION: A parallel reactor system 100 contains generally plural vessels 102 for holding reaction mixtures and a system for controlling the stirring speed and the temperature of the respective reaction mixtures or a group of the reaction mixtures of a reactor block 106 and can contain an equipment for controlling the pressure in each vessel individually and a system for injecting a liquid into the vessel under the pressure except the atmospheric pressure. The monitoring of each reaction mixture brings the feed back to a process controller and simultaneously gives data for deciding various characteristics of the reaction product, which includes the reaction rate, the product yield, the viscosity and the molecular weight.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for carrying out and monitoring the progress and properties of multiple reactions is disclosed. The method and apparatus are especially useful for synthesizing, screening, and characterizing combinatorial libraries, but also offer significant advantages over conventional experimental reactors as well. The apparatus generally includes multiple vessels for containing reaction mixtures, and systems for controlling the stirring rate and temperature of individual reaction mixtures or groups of reaction mixtures. In addition, the apparatus may include provisions for independently controlling pressure in each vessel, and a system for injecting liquids into the vessels at a pressure different than ambient pressure. In situ monitoring of individual reaction mixtures provides feedback for process controllers, and also provides data for determining reaction rates, product yields, and various properties of the reaction products, including viscosity and molecular weight.

Abstract: Sensors for determining the presence and concentration of bio-molecules in a biological sample are provided in the form of polymer brushes, which comprise a substrate having a surface that is modified with a water-dispersible or water-soluble polymer segment having functional groups that bind probes. The method of synthesis of such sensors preferably includes use of controlled free radical polymerization techniques, and in particular the use of an iniferter initiator, which allows for controlled architecture polymers to modify the surface of the substrate. In this manner functional groups in the polymer chain are removed from the surface, which allows for solution chemistry to be more realistically reproduced with the benefits of a solid bound probe.

Abstract: A method and apparatus (10) for reacting a plurality of different mixtures in parallel in a semi-batch or continuous mode is provided. Each reaction is contained within a reactor vessel (102), the reactor vessels (102) combined into a reactor block (100). Reactant(s) to be added during the reaction are kept in a header barrel (202), which has a plunger (402) to feed reactant(s) from the header barrel (202) through a transfer line (302) into the reactor vessel (102). The plunger (402) is moved using a drive system (500). The header barrels (202) are optionally combined in a header block (200). The header block (200) is seated to a plate (300) containing the transfer lines (302), which in turn is sealed to the reactor block (100). A latch mechanism (600) is provided for easy sealing of the reactor (100) and header blocks (200) to the plate (300). The entire apparatus (10) may be placed on a rocker or rotating plate for mixture as the reaction is proceeding.
