Re: [DIYbio] Relatively safe-to-handle mutagens to expose seeds to?


Never used them, but CSU has an irradiation service.


If you want something like Co-60 gamma irradiation for seeds, you'd probably have to start emailing gamma irradiation services, and see which ones will dial down their machine from "obliterate" to the "small parcel" setting for small runs.
