State plans are OK for out of state colleges. 529 Plans can be used to meet costs of qualified colleges nationwide. In most plans, your choice of school is not affected by the state your 529 savings plan is from. You can be a CA resident, invest in a VT plan and send your student to college in NC. Check to see if your institution is eligible under 529 rules.
Monolaurin is a mono-ester that is formed from the combination of glycerol and lauric acid. It is mainly used as microbicide, which is a substance that reduces the infection ability of microbes (or microorganisms) such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. Monolaurin is also called glyceryl laurate or glycerol monolaurate.
All Answers (12) Glycerol is a cryoprotectant, which is why it is used. You typically want 15-20% glycerol with your bacterial culture to effectively protect from ice crystals. You can use other cryoprotectants like DMSO, but glycerol is cheap and usually used for bacteria. I typically use sterile filtered 30% glycerol, and mix 1:1 with my overnight bacterial cultures because it is easier to handle- the suggestion above will work as well but I get annoyed by the viscosity.
