When this trash was put in the cold hallway, it had already been autoclaved. IVINS tested Tween 80 or Tween 20 at one time. Tween is an antifoam. If spores clumped, they tested the addition of Tween during the challenge. He does not use Tween in his routine spore production or challenges. During fermentation, as a culture gets older, there can be foaming on top. An electronic probe in the fermenter senses the foaming and injects antifoam. IVINS is not sure if antifoam is always used in fermentation. He thinks Sigma-Aldrich may be a source for antifoam, but he does not purchase it and does not know what kind would be used. ~ Before September 11, 2001, researchers at USAMRIID did not scrutinize their coworkers. They did not wonder if someone present in a hot suite was there for the wrong reason. IVINS took the interviewing agents past the autoclave crash door for suite B3, showed how this suite connected to B4, and showed the fermentation room. Two of the fermenters visible in the room have been purchased in the last 3 years or so. _ IVINS provided the following documents to the agents during the interview: USAMRIID Shipment Request form dated May 3, 2001 for the shipment of Ames spores to|[:::::::]at BMI.
