REACTION BLOCK FOR PARALLEL SYNTHETIC CHEMISTRY AND CONTAINER THEREFOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reaction block for parallel synthetic chemistry capable of being manufactured easily and inexpensively, and a container therefor. SOLUTION: A reaction container especially for use in parallel synthetic chemistry is characterized by an internal structure, that is, a reaction chamber and a discharge channel connected to each other. Mutual connection preferably comprises the connection channel between the bottom of the reaction chamber and the discharge channel so as to remove almost all of the liquid in the reaction chamber through the discharge channel. The connection channel is formed by the extension part hinged to a core for forming the reaction chamber so as to conveniently manufacture the reaction container by injection molding. Especially, the reaction block used along with these reaction containers includes the closing means covering the open end of the discharge channel and at least the reaction chambers of two reaction containers. The closing means is guided from an open position to a closing position by a guide means so as to generally perform linear movement and also guided so as to move toward the open ends of the containers during this movement by the force withstanding even the overpressure capable of being generated in the container in order to close the open ends of the containers.
