At the end of the stipulated treatment period, the overnight fasted (water allowed) animals were anaesthetized, blood samples were collected by retro-orbital puncture in heparinised (for haematological and biochemical analysis) and non-heparinised tubes (for serum electrolytes).
Despite these relatively high frequencies of severe toxicity per patient, adherence to the protocol-stipulated treatment delays and dose reductions resulted in low rates of severe toxicity per chemotherapy cycle.
They would have stipulated careful treatment of wastewater flowing back out of the ground after injection, insisting that it be stored in aboveground storage tanks rather than in pits.

Cells were washed once in ice-cold PBS and lysed in whole-cell lysis buffer (20 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 350 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM EDTA, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM EGTA, and 1% NP-40) after stipulated time of treatments and boiled at 95 oC with Laemmli's SDS-PAGE sample buffer for 5 min.
