Abstract

Abstract A reagent reactor comprising a vial (1) having an opening at one end thereof; a supporting block (2), having a first heater element (4), for surrounding and supporting said vial in a substantially erected posture so that said opening of the vial is adjacent to the upper surface thereof and exposed to the outside thereabove; a cover block (3) for pressing against said supporting block (2) under pressure and capable of sealing said opening of said vial (1) including a fluid introducing tube (10) projecting from said opening into said vial (1) when the cover block (3) is in the sealing position to the vial (1), a fluid discharging opening (11) opposed to said opening when the cover block (3) is in the sealing position to the vial (1), and a second heater element (5); and a temperature control circuit (9) for controlling said first (4) and second (5) heater elements so as to maintain the temperatures of the upper portion of said vial (1) and the lower end surface of said cover block (3) which contacts said opening of said vial (1) more than the temperature of the main body of said vial (1) when a reagent is added to a sample contained in said vial (1) so as to allow reaction of the reagent with said sample and when the evaporation or the azeotropy of a reagent or a solvent is performed.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 245 words
A reagent reactor comprising a vial having an opening at one end thereof; a supporting block, having a first heater element, for surrounding and supporting said vial in a substantially erected posture so that said opening of the vial is adjacent to the upper surface thereof and exposed to the outside thereabove; a cover block for pressing against said supporting block under pressure and capable of sealing said opening of said vial including a fluid introducing tube projecting from said opening into said vial when the cover block is in the sealing position to the vial, a fluid discharging opening opposed to said opening when the cover block is in the sealing position to the vial, a fluid introducing open and closed control passage, a fluid discharging open and closed control passage, said introducing and discharging passages communicating with said fluid introducing tube and said fluid discharging opening, respectively, and a second heater element; and a temperature control circuit for controlling said first and second heater elements so as to maintain the temperatures of the upper portion of said vial and the lower end surface of said cover block which contacts said opening of said vial more then the temperature of the main body of said vial when a reagent is added to a sample contained in said vial so as to allow reaction of the reagent with said sample and when the evaporation or the azeotropy of a reagent or a solvent is performed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 245 words
A reagent reactor comprising a vial having an opening at one end thereof; a supporting block, having a first heater element, for surrounding and supporting said vial in a substantially erected posture so that said opening of the vial is adjacent to the upper surface thereof and exposed to the outside thereabove; a cover block for pressing against said supporting block under pressure and capable of sealing said opening of said vial including a fluid introducing tube projecting from said opening into said vial when the cover block is in the sealing position to the vial, a fluid discharging opening opposed to said opening when the cover block is in the sealing position to the vial, a fluid introducing open and closed control passage, a fluid discharging open and closed control passage, said introducing and discharging passages communicating with said fluid introducing tube and said fluid discharging opening, respectively, and a second heater element; and a temperature control circuit for controlling said first and second heater elements so as to maintain the temperatures of the upper portion of said vial and the lower end surface of said cover block which contacts said opening of said vial more then the temperature of the main body of said vial when a reagent is added to a sample contained in said vial so as to allow reaction of the reagent with said sample and when the evaporation or the azeotropy of a reagent or a solvent is performed.
