Thank you for replying

He went to the butchers and seems to be happy with the early results.

Thank you for your help.

Kind Regards

Hi Bob1

Thank you for the information, I passed it on this morning.

In your opinion would pig skin would be quite a close approximation to human skin with regard to density of epithelial layers. It would simplify matters quite a bit if he could use pig skin, but I would be nervous about the scientific merit of this.

Kind Regards
Chris

Hi Astilius

I see your point, the closest we got was that skin cells float on water so they must be less dense than water. I will pass on your suggestion, thank you.

I am still surprised that it is not an easily accessible piece of info.

Of course I do have to ask where your “friend” is getting 1kg of human skin from.   Should we be calling the authorities?

Thanks for the info.

When he was asking he mentioned if he had a kg of skin cells, what would the density be, so I presume mass per unit volume.

In Topic: YFP protein fusion accumulates

19 July 2012 - 06:24 AM

I use "strain" as it is the GFP gene expressed in this particular gram positive strain. The GFP+ strain (just overexpressing GFP). The GFP-fusion+ strain ( protein with GFP fusion) and the wildtype strain (with no vectors associated with overexpression for background).

I include each of these strains in each 96 well plate during readings.
Apologies for the confusion, or if I am using the term incorrectly.Posted Image

Chris
