Glossary of Terms
Luer Ports - Found at the top of each Upper Manifold. Each port is a beveled hole with
a corresponding plug. Solvents, reagents, and solids may be added through the luer
ports.
Magnet Bar
- An aluminum assembly with cylindrical magnets mounted along its
length. The magnet bar is oscillated vertically moving magnets in the reaction vessels
causing mixing of the reaction solution.
Manifold Control Valves -Each side of the reactor assembly contains two manifold
control valves: Control Valve
1 (on left) and Control Valve 2 (on right).
These valves
control gas and solvent flow to and from the reaction vessels.
Manifold Membrane Pressure Switch
- Pressurizes a Teflon membrane which seals
against the common paths of the Upper Manifold to prevent crossover of the fluid or
gas contents of the RVs.
Metered Gas
- The drain gas port supplies 10 psi gas line from the Controller Unit to
the Reactor Unit, and is flow regulated by a needle valve on the Reactor Unit.
Metered Gas Needle Valve
- A control knob that increases or decreases the flow rate of
10 psi gas into the reaction vessels.
Reaction Vessels
- Fritted Teflon cylinders in which resin and reagents are added for
synthesis.
Reactor Unit
- The Assembly which contains Teflon reaction vessels, manual solvent
and gas control valves, heating, cooling, and agitation components.
Solvent Bottle Assembly
- This unit consists of a cap to interface to a 4 L solvent bottle.
Solvent Gas Pressure
- A port on the Controller Unit is used to supply gas pressure to
the Solvent Bottle Assembly.
Teflon Tubing
- The semi-transparent tubing (118 " OD) used for gas and liquid con-
nections. Semi-rigid.
Tygon Tubing
- This flexible tubing has a slight yellow color to it. Used for gas con-
nections within the Quest controller unit.
Umbilicus
- The bundle of tubing and electrical wires which connects the Quest Con-
troller to the Quest Reaction Unit.
