The components of the device are modular to allow for flexibility and robustness of use with the disclosed methods for a variety of medical applications.

Apparatuses and a method for plate-based oligonucleotide synthesis are disclosed. In one example, an apparatus used in oligonucleotide synthesis includes a machined block to receive a commercially-available synthesis plate. A keeper is used to apply pressure to the commercially-available synthesis plate, and a sealing element is used to seal the commercially-available synthesis plate to the machined block. Other methods and apparatuses are disclosed.

An apparatus includes a reaction vessels coupled to an electronic sensor for monitoring a reaction product in the reaction vessel; a fluidics system for sequentially delivering a plurality of reagents to the reaction vessel, the fluidics system including a plurality of reagent reservoirs in fluidic communication via a plurality of flow paths with a fluidics circuit and to a common passage in fluidic communication between the fluidics circuit and the reaction vessel, a solution reservoir in fluidic communication with the common passage via a branch passage connected with the common passage at a junction between the fluidics circuit and the reaction vessel; and an electrode in contact with a solution within the branch passage, the electrode being in electrical communication with the reaction vessel through fluid extending from the branch passage and through the common passage, the electronic sensor generating an output signal depending on a voltage of the electrode.

Apparatuses and a method for plate-based oligonucleotide synthesis are disclosed. In one example, an apparatus used in oligonucleotide synthesis includes a synthesis adapter base to receive a commercially available synthesis plate. A keeper is used to apply pressure to the commercially available synthesis plate, and a sealing element is used to seal the commercially-available synthesis plate to the system adapter base. Other methods and apparatuses are disclosed.
