SAPROXIN is an antifungal agent that will control most saprophytic fungi.  It
can be used to "clean" the surface and provide extended residual protection or
it can be added to the cell culture at levels of 0.5 mg/l to prevent the
contamination of the cell culture due to environment or culturing procedures. 
If you will E-mail your postal address, I will send you a sample sufficent to
prepare 10 liters of "cleaner" or provide protection of 10 liters of medium.
