Abstract: Provided is a manually operated wash station that can simultaneously apply a wash process to multiple cells of a multi-well synthesis reactor plate. Further provided is a manually operated wash station that can be adapted to automatic computer control. A method for simultaneously washing a plurality of wells in a multi-well container is provided. Additionally, a method for purifying a plurality of chemical products simultaneously in a multi-well reactor plate.

Abstract: A clamping system including a cover plate with an underside having at least one step, and a bottom plate having a base connected to a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side. The bottom plate also has a well for receiving a reactor plate. The clamping system further includes a compression skirt positioned between the cover plate and the bottom plate, with the compression skirt having a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side corresponding to the first, second, third, and fourth sides of the bottom plate, respectively. Additionally, the clamping system includes a first and a second upper latch assembly for clamping the cover plate to the compression skirt, and a first and a second lower latch assembly for clamping the compression skirt to the bottom plate.
