hi, I want to induce colitis in mice. There are many kinds of DSS in Sigma. Which one would be the best?

More over I found in other company much cheaper but there is only written that it is DSS - no additional information's.

any suggestions which DSS would be the best?

Hi there,

Our lab frequently uses the DSS model of colitis in mice. However, we purchase our DSS from MP Biomedicals (http://www.mpbio.com/product.php?pid=02160110)

I think the prices are comparable to Sigma's

best regards,

Janice
