[Celegans] platinum worm pick wire in stock

[Andrew Papp]

Thanks to everyone that wrote suggesting that Tritech carry platinum 
wire for worm picks, expressing an interest in getting it from us, as 
well as those who had technical tips as to which wire is best!

What we settled on is wire that is 90% platinum + 10% iridium.  This 
alloy is even more corrosion resistant and durable than pure platinum, 
while being slightly more malleable to form picks than a more common 
90:20 alloy.  We got wire that is .010" = .254mm = 30 gauge in diameter.

This wire works really well for worm picks and for gel box electrodes as 
well.

We cut it up into 3 foot (0.9 meter) lengths and the price is discounted 
to $100 PO or cash and is $110 for credit cards.  If you order anything 
else at the same time, there will be no shipping charge for the Pt.

Here is the item# and description.  It's not on our website yet....

PT-9010-010-3FT
   90% platinum 10% iridium wire
   3 feet x 0.010 inches diameter

Thanks so much for keeping us at Tritech Research as part of the C. 
elegans family.  Happy 2006,

Andy Papp
