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.

Row-independent oligonucleotide synthesis

A magnet set forth used is in a drain plug. A drain plug is assembled with an attached holder securing an inserted cylindrical magnet. The drain plug is formed of non ferrous material such as brass, aluminum, stainless steel, etc. It is constructed in accordance with industry standards to fit as a replacement device in oil drain pans, and is non ferrous material. It incorporates an extending threaded shaft. The holder is constructed with an axial passage there through having threads at the small end for threading through the drain plug. The passage extends fully through the device, interrupted by a transverse internal registration shoulder at the middle, and defines an extending skirt fitting loosely around an elongate cylindrical rare earth magnet.

Magnetic drain plug

The present invention provides a variable resistance device having at least one pair of channels retaining a conductive ball between them. The channels contain a resistive element and a conductive element and movement of the conductive ball within the channels, caused by rotation of the channels relative to each other, provides a variable resistance.

Variable resistance device

A multiple range variable resistor and potentiometer suitable for use in the repair or manufacture of hearing aids and other miniature applications is disclosed. The user of the device can select the desired resistance range thereby allowing one component to be used in many different applications and reducing inventory requirements. It provides increased resistance to contamination of the internal components compared to conventional hearing aid volume controls and is not damaged by over-turning of the control knob in either direction. It can be manufactured for the same cost as conventional single range potentiometers.
