title: Contamination of polyethylene glycol with aldehydes: implications for hybridoma fusion.
abstract: Data presented indicate that polyethylene glycol 1000 to be used for hybridoma production should be odorless at the time of purchase and should be stored at reduced temperatures in the absence of light. The optimal method of sterilization is by pressure filtration of the diluted PEG solution.
