Re: Gamma Dose to cell sterilization

[Mr Jo <mjo@scs.unr.edu>]

I briefed the group about potential changes in samples (they had more than one sample). They said that they tried many differemt ways and nothing worked. They are willing to try this and the group is well established researchers. I picked 1kGy for this trial. M. Jo

 Just curious, but why give the extracts a dose of radiation? This will potentially mess up the components in the extract (via X-linking etc.)to the point they are useless for experimentation. A simple 20 ml syringe and a cheap (a couple of bucks)0.2 micron filter, attached to the syringe, will sterilize your 20 ml of extract.

                         Hope this helps,
