A researcher at North Carolina State University desperately needs to find a source of P-33 phosphate radioisotope to continue research in progress. Apparently, Oak Ridge is down, and no one seems to have the short half-life stuff around. It you know of a source or a supplier anywhere on the planet, a speedy reply could save some research. The isotope has to reach Raleigh by March. Please contact Joanne Burkholder (+1 919 737 2727) or Richard Winder (+1 919 737 2222) Botany Dept. North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC, USA 27695-7612 or send me mail, and I'll see that one of them gets the message. (Sorry for the cross-postings into sci.med and sci.physics, but P-33 was formerly used in bone cancer research and the physics people just might know where some is). -- Mike Shaddock {decvax,seismo,ihnp4,philabs}!mcnc!rti!shaddock shaddock@rti.rti.org "You're in a twisty maze of sendmail rules, all obscure."

(To everybody but Mike S.: I tried mailing this several times, but it bounced, so I'm posting instead. Sorry.) Can your friend make do with P-32 instead? It's also a pure beta emitter of a couple of weeks halflife, and a lot easier to get. Try New England Nuclear. If P-33 is absolutely essential, mail to me (including a path that works!); I can't promise anything, but have some friends who might be able to help. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Johnson Opinions?
