My rats - and research chems..

[cosmicwanker]

OK here's the deal. I plan on running an experiment on my lab rats, which will require the oral administration of Aromasin ( Extremestane). Most research suppliers offer their chemicals in either powder or alcohol suspension, right?
I'd prefer suspension because it's easier to administer.

Now the question - What kind of alcohol or other solutions are typically used to suspend these chemicals? Some of these companies probably don't list the exact type of alcohols etc. which are used. I don't want to feed my rats carcinogens like benzene, as quality rats are hard to come by!
BTW- Researchstop would be my 1st choice - any others just as reputable?

from looking around quite a few sites... RS has the best price/size for exemestane.

I think most solutions are suspended in grain alcohol.

Rasa Research

Rasa is g2g!

They end up being the same

They end up being the same

ah you're probably right

So Ethanol is the usual suspension then? If that's the case I'm not worried.
My main concern was "other" agents not being listed on the label. Maybe I'm just being paranoid!

As far as product quality goes, I'm sure RS & Rasa are indeed G2G.

The liquid exemestane from RS is GTG, works great. No idea what alcohol it's suspended in though.

Massroids stock tabs if you aren't comfortable with liquid.

RS

they changed what they suspended it in recently. It used to be this green sludgy stuff. Now its clear less viscuous. Works great and fast TAs

What about for Nolva, is Research Stop the best place for that?

I really want to make sure my rats recover properly from another experiment
