Neil: I haven't made stock solution recently, but I believe the starting pH of solution prior to adding NaOH is less than 2, so this should work.
Citrate pH 3.0 use at 10 mM For a 10 x stock solution [100 mM] 10.5 g citric acid monohydrate [MW 210.14] in 370 ml water adjust the pH to 3.0 with concentrated NaOH add 2.5 ml Tween 20 adjust final volume to 500 ml Tresa Tresa Goins Montana Veterinary Diagnostic Lab Bozeman, Montana 59718 406-994-6353 -----Original Message----- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Neil Macintyre Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2012 10:26 AM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] Citrate Buffer pH2.0 Hi Can anyone help me with a formula for 0.01M citrate buffer pH2.0 for antigen retrieval as this pH has been recommended by the company supplying AM3K macrophage antibody and I can't find this in any of the usual IHC buffer protocols.
