Reaction Mixer for High Throughput Chemical Synthesis

Introduction High throughput chemical synthesis requires the execution of a large number (perhaps 100 – 10,000) of small reactions to run in parallel. One is faced with the task of having to mix the contents of a large number of reaction vessels at various temperatures, times and conditions. This is not an effective way to have controlled experiments. Technology description Researchers at the University of Washington have invented a reaction mixer for high throughput chemical synthesis. This device is much less expensive to make than currently available devices and requires no specialized equipment to manufacture. The invention can be used at ambient temperature (i.e. on the laboratory bench-top) or placed inside of an oven. Business opportunity This technology will be important to research facilities and companies that require a high throughput requirement for chemical synthesis. This device can handle thousands of vials while costing a small fraction of what it would cost to stir thousands of vials with multichannel magnetic stirrers/hot plates. Stage of Development Our researchers have successfully manufactured this device and have a working prototype and preliminary data. Intellectual Property Position
