Chelating Aluminum from cell culture - (Jun/27/2013 )

Hi, I wanna chelate aluminum from cells in cell culture after their treatment with AlOH3 for some time, any idea how can i do it.Thanks

Without damaging the cells? If you don't mind the damage you could use a metal ion chelator such as EDTA or EGTA.

if you can get your hands on some, you can try feralex. it's being used to chelate aluminum and iron in vivo.

see these papers:

about feralex

synthesis

one of my coworkers has a different, more efficient, synthesis method and others here have used it in their research (unfortunately, i'm not privy to all of the information or i could tell you more)
