I´m planning to do microinjection. I know that the protocol uses halocarbon oil, but I read a comment in “Celegans – CELEGANS/bionet.celegans” which says that some people is using a heavy mineral oil instead of halocarbon oil, and apparently it works fine. And the mineral oil is $3.70, as compared with $50-$84 for comparable amounts of halocarbon oil.
I would appreciate anyone’s comments about this.
