Dear all
I am emailing on the off chance that somebody may be able to help me. I am currently looking to purchase some type of Cryogenic Grinder Mill which would pulverize teeth for ancient DNA analysis. I see in allot of publications that most people use the SPEX 6770 freezer mill or similar models, However my budget has been severely reduced this year so I cannot afford to spend the approximate 5000euro which most SPEX mills cost. Also it seems that some of the SPEX mills are run on American voltage and there is no European equivalent.
I was just wondering therefore does anyone use some sort of cheaper alternative similar to a freezer mill to pulverize teeth or bone fragments for aDNA analysis.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Best Wishes,
Sheila Tierney
