Sufficient for what?
My little bit of reading indicates
that lypholizers and Speed Vacs are used for drying samples.
Speed Vacs are slower than lypholizers
and generally used for very small samples of DNA, protein, etc.
(about 1 milliliter or so)
So far as I can see neither of these plays any role in aerosolizing the anthrax.
It seems nobody, including your experts, has a clue how it was aerosolized.
Or maybe the people who saw the smoke had lying eyes.
Allan,
As I’ve explained above more than once, the scientist above and his colleagues make aerosolized anthrax for aerosol experiments and his simulant has the same performance characteristics. I realize you may think it is really hard. As with anything, once you know how to do something, it doesn’t seem so hard. I’m sure he and his colleagues are very talented as are the people at Dugway and Battelle. So when Ken A. or my friend say it is relatively easy — that a sophisticated method can result from a relatively simple method — perhaps genius lies in figuring how to do something simply. The GMU/Hadron Center for Biodefense people, DIA, Battelle, Dugway etc. of course had the benefit of the biochemistry information from the Russian program as the result of Ken’s defection. When you are handed your mother’s recipe, you can make it just like mom used to make it. But I haven’t found the exchange productive and I sense neither have you.
