I would be more concerned about the potential for aerosol production and biosafety issues than whether you can clean the sample tube. Your institutional Biosafety Committee needs to look at this project and suggest the requirements for operator safety and containment. Charles A.

This will be from deer and elk with chronic wasting disease, which is treated as BSL2, and may eventually also be scrapie, which I think is also BSL2. I was wondering if anyone out there has done these kinds of sorts, and if so, what sort of containment and line decontamination they have used? Thanks very much.
