Synthesizer system with interleaving vacuum extraction

A method of operating a chemical synthesizer system, the method comprising:

• receiving, with a controller, a first queue of instructions including a plurality of delivery instructions for operating a delivery assembly with respect to a plurality of synthesis plates and a plurality of vacuum instructions for operating a vacuum assembly with respect to the plurality of synthesis plates, the plurality of vacuum instructions grouped in a plurality of vacuum sections;
• and
• sequentially processing, with the controller, each respective instruction included in the first queue of instructions by
• in response to the respective instruction being one of the plurality of delivery instructions, moving at least one of the plurality of synthesis plates or delivering regents to at least one of the plurality of synthesis plates by executing the respective instruction, and
• in response to the respective instruction being one of the plurality of vacuum instructions, moving one of the plurality of vacuum sections including the respective instruction to a second queue of instructions, and controlling at least one valve of the vacuum assembly by executing instructions included in the second queue of instructions in parallel with the sequential processing of instructions included in the first queue of instructions.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one electronic processor, perform a set of functions, the set of functions comprising:

• receiving a first queue of instructions including a plurality of delivery instructions for operating a delivery assembly with respect to a plurality of synthesis plates included in a chemical synthesizer system and a plurality of vacuum instructions for operating a vacuum assembly with respect to the plurality of synthesis plates, the plurality of vacuum instructions grouped in a plurality of vacuum sections;
• and
• sequentially processing each respective instruction included in the first queue of instructions by
• in response to the respective instruction being one of the plurality of delivery instructions, moving at least one of the plurality of synthesis plates or delivering regents to at least one of the plurality of synthesis plates by executing the respective instruction, and
• in response to the respective instruction being one of the plurality of vacuum instructions, moving one of the plurality of vacuum sections including the respective instruction to a second queue of instructions, and controlling at least one valve of the vacuum assembly by executing instructions included in the second queue of instructions in parallel with the sequential processing of instructions included in the first queue of instructions.
