	Actually, that's not true.  I just ordered some today.  The catalog
number has been changed. M7038 is the cat. number for Sigma. :)

	BTW, I am working with MNNG (crystalline) and I was wondering how
to weigh it out.  I don't want to do it in the hood, because I don't want
to circulate a crystalline carcinogen.  Any ideas??  I am dissolving in DMSO,
diluting in PBS and treating transfected HeLa cells for a genotoxicity 
assays.
