Abstract
The construction and operation of a microprocessor-controlled quenched-flow machine are described. Two sets of syringes are moved by high-torque stepping motors to achieve any desired mixing scheme. The dead time of the instrument is pulsed quench-flow operation is of the order of 10 ms. The fastest possible reaction time is 12 ms with the reaction chamber used here; this might be extended downward with other reaction chambers. The reactant volume required is low; 1 ml of solution for each reactant is sufficient for more than 40 kinetic measurements. The machine is tested by alkaline hydrolysis of 2,4-dinitrophenylacetate and used in the investigation of the reaction mechanism of the EcoRI restriction endonuclease and of GTPase activity of ribosomes.
