Abstract

A semi-automatic, solid phase peptide multi-synthesizer is characterized in that it is principally constituted by chemical reactors (2), connected to volumetric solvent proportioners (1) disposed above the said chemical reactors (2) and below a solvent selector (4) supplied with solvent by solvent containers (6) under pressure of nitrogen distribution cylinders (3), as well as a center for adjustment and regulation of very low pressure nitrogen (5), are sequentially controlled by a programmable automation (7) or a microcomputer assuring the carrying out of the synthesis technique. The maximum number of volumetric solvent proportioner (1)--chemical reactor (2) assemblies is equal to the maximum number of peptides which may be produced simultaneously.
