Hi I want to carry out a disc inhibition assay . I am just wondering does the diameter of the disc effect the results ?

20 January 2017 0 6K Report

I can only find blank sterile disc at 10mm in diameter and its suggested to use 6mm discs. Would it make a negative impact on my results if i used the 10mm disc.
