Setting the Reaction Temperature, Time, and Agitation

You set the reaction temperature, time, and agitation parameters by changing the

appropriate parameters on one of the control box display screens. For detailed

information on the contents of each display screen and how to use the control box

components to change the temperature, reaction time, and agitation parameters, see

Appendix B: Control Box Display Screens.

Frequently, solvent is added to the reaction vessels as the first step of a synthesis. This

is useful not only for swelling the synthesis support resin in the case of a solid phase

reaction, but also is a convenient time for setting the agitation parameters. See below

"Parallel Addition of Solvents" for instructions.

Set the Agitation Parameters:

NOTE

Set the agitation parameters to minimize splashing of solution on the upper

manifold male fittings. This will prevent build up of resin and/or particulates in the luer

ports.

Set the agitation frequency.

Use the Mode button to access the Agitation display screen. (For instructions on

using the control box buttons to access a display screen from the current display

screen,

see Appendix B: Control Box Display Screens.)
