Dear all Can you offer any advice? A colleague in Spain wants to perform cell cycle analysis on cultured animal cells for him. We fix with 70% ethanol at -20 degrees C then store at -20 degrees C until analysis. We find that this works well and propose that he does the same. The question is; should everything work OK if he sends the fixed samples to us in the UK by normal means at ambient temperature (preferred method)? or should he send the fixed cells on dry ice or water ice (preferably not; trouble and expense)? We expect transit to take no more than 2 or 3 days. Any alternative suggestions would also be appreciated. Regards DR Lloyd University of Birmingham England
