Hi Flowers
I've been working with fatty tissue stem cells from horses and have been getting this cell(s) (please see attachment), I think it is contamination but would like a definate and if it is where would this kind of contamination come from.  These samples have to go through FACS and I don't think I can send them through if this a contamination.
Any comments will be very helpful
Kind regards <<Horse fat day6-1x10 (CFU).jpg>>	<<Horse fat day10-10%AAx10 (Streptococci overload).jpg>>
