Abstract
Chemical synthesizer systems and methods for operating the same. One method includes receiving a first queue of instructions including a plurality of delivery instructions for operating a delivery assembly with respect to a plurality of synthesis plates and a plurality of vacuum instructions, grouped in a plurality of vacuum sections, for operating a vacuum assembly with respect to the plurality of synthesis plates. The method also includes sequentially processing each instruction included in the first queue of instructions by (i) executing the instruction when the instruction is one of the plurality of delivery instructions and (ii) moving, when the instruction is one of the plurality of vacuum instructions, one of the plurality of vacuum sections including the instruction to a second queue of instructions and executing instructions included in the second queue of instruction in parallel with instructions included in the first queue of instructions.
