---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bromo-chloro-indolyl-galactopyranoside | X-gal | 20mg/ml | Dimethylformamide (DMF) | 250x | Use DMF in a chemical hood |
Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside | IPTG | 0.1M | H2O | 1000x | Light sensitive. Molecular weight: 238.31 g/mol |
Glycerol for freezing aliquots
We use sterile 80% glycerol in water. We dilute this 1:3 (400ul 80% glycerol; 1200ul culture) for creating freezer stocks with a final glycerol concentration of 20%.
10x PBS
Used to create 1x PBS for dilution or washing cells of any species.
For 1 liter:
- NaCl 80g
- KCl 2g
- Na2HPO4 14.4g
- KH2PO4 2.4g
Stir salts with MilliQ water. This may take a significant time to dissolve!
Adjust pH with NaOH to 7.4. This will take a significant amount of NaOH; add in 200ul increments.
Tris Buffer
For Tris buffer at pH 8.0 (at 25 degrees)
- 4.44 g/L Tris HCl
- 2.65 g/L Tris Base
Do not adjust pH or check the pH with the MEE lab pH probe. This will destroy the probe!
