I'm going to inactivate MEFs by irradiation to use it later as feeder cells in iPs. Anyone know the dose (in grays (Gy)) and the time of irradiation that I need to use to inactivate it?
I will use the RS 2000 Biological Research Irradiator
I will use the RS 2000 Biological Research Irradiator...do you have any idea of how much time of exposure in this machine? because that is the main issue that i'm having (the time).
My machine tells you the dose it will give after you enter the time and before you start the irradiation. In the case of ours (not sure of brand) it is 33 minutes to reach 3000 rad. This changes over time as the source gets weaker thus the machine has to tell you. If you dont completely know how to operate the machine, you probably should ask someone who does!
