I may have missed something but you can not incubate a gel clot endotoxin in a moving car. They must not be moved until time is up. Movement may disturb the clot resulting in a false negative. Incubating a gel clot on the same counter with a centriuge will give you questionable results.

microM,

haha, I didn't mean drive around with them. I just meant he has alot of clinics he could just bring the incubator with him. They are light weight and can be charged if there is not a designated outlet from a cig lighter from your vehicle (12 v)

San Augustine,
Thank goodness-and please excuse my stupidity. When I first started in dialysis (18 years ago)I was told by a coporate tech to place Millipore samplers on the warm window sill for 24 hours and multiply X 2. He was serious and got no growth every time. I have also received water samples that smelled of bleach and alcohol. You scared me a little. But, I should have known better. This forum shows what an enlightened group we have become.

That looks a lot like the warmer/cooler thingies you can buy at Walmart.

microM,

Back in the day, the Millipore samplers were just incubated at room temperature...now we know better.

Hey but if it works it works!!!
