Oxygen Consumption By Acrylamide Polymerization For Rapid Screening Of Chemotherapeutic Agents, Richard A. Johnson '74

Fenwick Scholar Program

This paper describes a screening process used to determine the overall effect of anti-cancer drugs on a tumor more rapidly than other established methods. This technique measures the rate of oxygen consumption by cells when a solution of acrylamide and bisacrylamide is polymerized.
