<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are having some problems with the polymerization
reaction of Technovit 9100New. Despite keeping things at constant
temperatures it fails to polymerize. We are polymerizing specimens of
ovine fem cond with approx 100ml of constituted solution in glass jars. We
have trial vials at 4C, room temp., and -18C and none polymerize. We
used the manufacturer's protocol included in the 9100New kit.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for any insight and help.</FONT></DIV>
