[RASMB] centerpiece/window compatibility with decontaminating solution

[Brandon L Doyle]

Sumit,

 I am not sure what variety of Contrad or concentration you are planning 
on using for decontamination, but we routinely use Contrad70 (about 0.1-1% 
vol/vol solutions) on Epon cells with no apparent ill effects.  We have 
not noticed any etching of windows (or quartz spectroscopy cells for that 
matter) with those dilute conditions either.

[RASMB] centerpiece/window compatibility with decontaminating   solution






Hello All,
             I am planning to run some sed-vel experiments with a protein 
that is cytotoxic. That means the components of the cell assembly will 
require decontamination followed by the experiment. Can anyone tell me if 
the centerpieces (Epon charcoal-filled) and the sapphire windows are going 
to be okay with bleach or contrad? I am more concerned about the 
centerpieces. 
 
Thank you so much!
With regards,
Sumit_______________________________________________
