Hi,
A student of ours is using Taxol to disrupt the cytoskeleton, and has
started getting unexpected preciptations forming in the medium after
switching from a pharmaceutical grade to the "sigma" powder. A stock is
made up either in DMSO or Cremophor El (oil based I think) + Ethanol (
as suggested by supplier), but when the stock is diluted 0.25% vol to
the aqueous, we see needle-shaped crystal forming as taxol goes out of
solution.
Ideas, and protocols would be greatly appreciated,
plz email to me: Ian.Harper at sci.monash.edu.au
Thanks
Ian.
