[The automated "SynChrom" system for solid-phase synthesis of peptides and liquid column chromatography. I. Principles of design and structural constituents].

An automatic modular SynChrom system was designed for solid phase synthesis and chromatographic purification of peptides. Structural constituents and organization and operation of the system in solid phase peptide synthesis and liquid column chromatography modes are described. Swellographic monitoring of the course of synthesis was used. Hydraulic diagrams, operation algorithm and software description are presented.
