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??
