A scintillation counting system has been constructed with the use of BC-400 and EJ-212 series plastic scintillators along with a subminiature photomultiplier tube to investigate the effect of increasing plastic scintillator thickness on system integrated counts. Measurements have been carried out using four different gamma sources with different energies ranging from 6keV to 1.332MeV and a Ni-6...

Mesenchymal stem cells are typically enriched from bone marrow via their preferential attachment to tissue culture plastic. However, this isolation method has proven ineffective for murine MSCs because various hematopoietic cell lineages survive and/or proliferate on stromal layers in the absence of exogenous cytokines and therefore constitute a large percentage of the plastic adherent populati...
