alternative for solid-phase
synthesis because they can be cleaved using light. However, irradiation
in a classical batch photoreactor results in incomplete cleavage of
the photolabile linkers. It is demonstrated that a continuous flow
photoreactor is superior to a batch photoreactor for the cleavage
of a linker from polystyrene resin.
