*Radioactive <sup>14</sup>C-2-deoxyglucose
*Radioactive <sup>14</sup>C-2-deoxyglucose.  DEOXY-D-GLUCOSE, 2-[14C(U)], order from American Radiolabeled Chemical, 50 uCi is enough for about 50 experiments.  (catalog [https://www.arcincusa.com/featured-products-m/14c-labeled-compounds/Deoxy-D-glucose-2-14C-U-ARC-0112A-50-%C2%B5Ci-detail ARC 0112A-50 µCi])
*Hot 2-DG.  Need 50 uL per well, prepare 1 mL KRBH/BSA, 1 uL cold 2-DG and 50 uL radioactive 2-DG
*'''Hot 2-DG'''.  Need 50 uL per well, prepare 1 mL KRBH/BSA, 1 uL cold 2-DG and 50 uL radioactive 2-DG. count 3 x 5 uL of hot 2DG to determine counts per pmol of 2-DG.  This volume is enough for 20 wells, so you can scale up or down if needed.
*Insulin stock solution (1 mg/mL) if doing insulin stimulation
*Scintillation Fluid
