Tumeric

Experiment 7avr17

Aim: To get a cell staining protocol that uses non-toxic (kitchen) ingredients

To see if tumeric might stain cells.

1) make pads with cheek cells in saline/1% LMP Agarose

2) make solution of Tumeric in saline (as for Methylene Blue - some powder, not too much!)

3) put a drop of tumeric solution on one patch, methylene blue on another and compare

Is any color visible?
What about after treatments for comet tests??

Anna and Bastien already counted cheek cells, and are making pads before RA joined in.
