Abstract
The present invention relate to a reactor comprising: (i) a first reagent release mechanism, (ii) a second reagent release mechanism, and (iii) a reaction area fluid pathway, wherein the reaction area fluid pathway comprises a pathway extension valve, wherein adjusting the pathway extension valve varies the length of the reaction area fluid pathway, and wherein the pathway extension valve comprises a single valve.
Claims29
A reactor comprising:
- a first reagent release mechanism,
- a second reagent release mechanism, and
- a reaction area fluid pathway, wherein the reaction area fluid pathway comprises a pathway extension valve, wherein adjusting the pathway extension valve varies the length of the reaction area fluid pathway, and wherein the pathway extension valve comprises a single valve.
A reactor comprising:
- a first reagent release mechanism,
- a second reagent release mechanism, and
- a reaction area fluid pathway, wherein the reaction area fluid pathway comprises a pathway extension valve, wherein adjusting the pathway extension valve varies the length of the reaction area fluid pathway, and wherein the pathway extension valve comprises a passageway and at least two passageway extensions, wherein the pathway extension valve is adjustable to a position where the reaction fluid area pathway comprises at least two passageway extensions.
A pathway extension valve comprising a single inlet, a single outlet, a passageway between the single inlet and the single outlet, and at least two passageway extensions, wherein adjusting the pathway extension valve varies the length of the passageway, wherein the pathway extension valve is adjustable to a position where the passageway comprises at least two passageway extensions.
(canceled)
A method for carrying out a reaction comprising:
- (a) providing a first reagent,
- (b) providing a second reagent,
- (c) providing a reaction area fluid pathway, wherein the reaction area fluid pathway comprises a pathway extension valve, wherein the pathway extension valve comprises a single valve, and wherein the method comprises adjusting the pathway extension valve to select the length of the reaction area fluid pathway,
- (d) mixing the first reagent and the second reagent in the reaction area fluid pathway,
- (e) allowing a reaction to take place between the first reagent and the second reagent in the reaction area for a predetermined reaction time to form a reaction liquid, and
- (f) optionally quenching the reaction in a quenching area to form a quenched flow reaction liquid.
