5 Oct 2009Viability
Exposure to 60% N20 over a period of 24 hours did not affect viability of the GT1-7 cells. The total protein content of the cells was also not significantly different between air-exposed and N20-exposed cells. The effects of oxygen concentration (21% vs 35%) on cell viability and protein concentration over 36 hours were also evaluated [...]
