Agitation Cycles for ArgoCap Washing
The following washing/agitation regimen is recommended for use with polystyrene resin
encapsulated ArgoCaps. The agitation is gradated in order to provide gentle agitation for
the initial dissolution of the ArgoCaps. Once the ArgoCaps have dissolved and the resin
is swollen in DCM solvent, the agitation is set for a gentle cycle to be used throughout
the synthesis. Please note that these Parameter Settings are representative and may vary
somewhat from instrument to instrument.
