I have done a number of these types of experiments and in some cases P-32
must be used although I would rather use P-33.  One additional item is to
use an incubator isolated from the rest of the cell cultures.  I found this
helpfull in reducing exposure of others who need to use the incubator in
their work.  All of the comments made in the last message are very good.
