Dear all,

I would like to know if there is any chance of cleaning a FACscan after running
in samples containing infectous mouse prions?
The Prions can only be inactivated by by very strong solvents like Sodiumhydrocloride
1M,10% sodium hypochlorite or Guanidin Hydrocloride 3M. Will the FACscan be
damaged by these solvents? And in that case what parts of the FACs? Maby I could
clean the FACs and then replace the damaged parts?
I would be mostly grateful for any respons to this question!
Thank you all, By from Annica
