Abstract
IN A previous paper (Molnar et al., 1956) it has been shown that rates of I131 uptake by surviving human and canine thyroid slices could not be determined by the method of incubation of slices in a fixed volume of medium containing I131. A new method was therefore devised in which a medium of constant composition flowed by gravity at a constant rate over thyroid slices. This method, termed “gravity-flow incubation,” and its potentialities and limitations form the subject of this paper.Keywords
