The invention relates to a container holder 10, comprising a main body 12 which in turn comprises a gas inlet 16; a solution liquid outlet 18; a gas control valve 20 through which a gas enters the container 100 from the gas inlet; and a sealing means 22 for the container, which sealing means includes a passageway 24 for the input of gas and output of a solution in the container via an egress tube 19; wherein when the container is connected to the container holder through the sealing means, the gas control valve opens automatically, and when the container is disconnected the gas control valve is closed automatically. The invention further relates to a container panel 50 which includes two or more container holders. Also disclosed are methods of using these containers and container panels for synthesizing a polypeptide.

A reaction cell for an automated peptide synthesizer consists of a body having a first reaction well in fluid communication with a second reaction well for simultaneous reactions. The first reaction well can be used for reagent pre-activation simultaneously with an amino acid addition in the second reaction well. When the addition reaction is complete and after a washing step the activated reagent is automatically transferred to the second reaction well for the next addition reaction without the necessity of a separate transfer step.
