Dear Tissue Culturers,
I ran out of magenta caps for baby food jars while I was working on my
science project, and since you can't run down to the store and get some
more in my hometown. We found a clear plastic 35 mm film
container(Fugi and Agfa). My dad experimented with it by boiling it for
almost 15 minutes and it and the cap did not lose its shape. We went
down to a one hour photograph shop and asked the owner to save the clear
ones for me. (My dad taught him when he was in school so that probably
helped), but they will probably give them to anyone just to get rid of
them. The film containers are are not very large and probably not good
to use for real expert tissue culturing, but they have worked really
good for me. I just sealed the top with parafilm until I ran out- now I
use scotch tape( I don't know how that is going to work) but I will let
you know. I have been using them for about two months now and they
work. We had bad flooding yesterday and school was canceled today
because the dirt roads were washed away.
