What concentrations of compounds can be used in HTS assays?

CCG - Learn More - FAQs | Life Sciences at Michigan here
We typically suggest screening at about 10 uM. Lower concentrations may be used in cell-based assays to reduce false positives and to bias detection toward more potent compounds. For "difficult" targets it may be useful to screen with higher concentrations (20-100 uM) but the number of false positive results is usually quite a bit higher resulting in more work and expense in subsequent studies. Dose response studies are typically done up to 100 uM (perhaps 300 uM).

Do the off-site levels pose any threat to the health of wildlife or pets?

Plum Brook Reactor Facility Decommissioning Frequently Asked...

Based on the results in Plum Brook, we collected tissue and bone samples from deer within Plum Brook Station ? the only wildlife that would have accumulated the isotopes.
