Recently, it was brought to my attention that the Wintermute lysate is contaminated. Upon investigation, it has been determined that Wintermute IS contaminated with Fionbharth. My apologies. Teachable moment: Whenever you receive a lysate, please always do the following: 1. Freeze the lysate for long term use. 2. Make a high titer lysate for your own use. Use preferred microbiology practice and make your phage lysate from a single plaque. PCR verify that plaque and your lysate. 3. Freeze aliquots of your high titer lysate for future use. debbie |
