PICHIA: Does anyone know how to get rid of the dirty socks smell ?

Bruce Bryan @Bruce-Bryan

12 August 2019 1 9K Report

We are making a recombinant protein in Pichia and want to know if there is any way to remove the smelly feet?

We've tried bicarbonate buffers and rinsing with 20% Ethanol.

Is there any chemical that will react with, what we assume is Butanoic Acid?

Thank you in advance,

Mohammed Husain Hamedi
