Device for synthesizing oligonucleotides

A device for synthesizing oligonucleotides in which the device comprises:

• a reagent container receptacle for holding a reagent container support comprising multiple reagent containers for reagents for the synthesis of oligonucleotides;
• an interchangeable microfluid chip comprising a synthesis chamber for the synthesis of oligonucleotides, fluid connectors for the conveying of the reagents as well as microfluid valves, wherein the fluid connectors are connected to the synthesis chamber via a fluid connection and the fluid connection between a respective fluid connector and the synthesis chamber can be interrupted or released by means of a microfluid valve;
• a control device for controlling the microfluid valves;
• fluid connecting means for the transport of the reagents from the reagent containers to the fluid connectors of the microfluid chip,
• wherein in a loading position the device can be loaded with the microfluid chip, and the reagent container receptacle can be loaded with the reagent container support,
• a chip receptacle for holding the microfluid chip,
• wherein
• an actuator device is provided, with which the reagent container receptacle, the microfluid chip, by means of the chip receptacle, and the fluid connecting means can be brought from the loading position to an operating position,
• in which operating position the reagent container receptacle, the chip receptacle and the fluid connecting means are positioned relative to each other by means of the actuator device in such a way,
• that the microfluid valves of the microfluid chip are connected to the control device, that the reagent containers arranged in the reagent container receptacle are connected to the fluid connectors of the microfluid chip via the fluid connecting means,
• so that depending on the valve position of the microfluid valves reagents can be conveyed from the reagent containers in the direction of the synthesis chamber.
