| Feb 11 at 17:56 | comment | added | Buck Thorn♦ | Your mixing protocol seems correct. DDM might slowly hydrolyze, but I'd be surprised if it's much outside of high T or extremes of pH. I would worry more about the DTT stability since it is air sensitive. I also wonder if the metal solubility might not be sensitive to pH and Tris (the latter should help, high pH will precipitate magnesium hydroxide). | |

| Feb 11 at 13:09 | comment | added | raptorlane | I would need to try this again with miliq, the DDM and just a bit of base. I observed this multiple times already, but not sure if this relates to the surfactant. I guess a valid approach would be to prepare the buffer premix concentrated 1.01x and than add 1/100 part in volume of DTT of 1M stock in miliq that was previously frozen from alliqots to achieve 10mM. Than add the DDM. Volume error would be limited to DDM than solely ans because of the concentration of 0.04wt% relatively small. Agree? | |
| Feb 11 at 12:59 | comment | added | Buck Thorn♦ | DDM is nonionic so don't see why solubility would be very sensitive to pH. Sigma-Aldrich says: "This product is soluble in water (50 mg/ml), yielding a clear to very slightly hazy, colorless solution. Sonication may be required for complete solubilization." Cayman chemical says don't keep in solution for more than a day before use. | |
| Feb 11 at 12:05 | comment | added | raptorlane | Other components are Tris HCl, MgCl2 and ZnCl2 but these are stable and sterilizable anyway. I am thinking about DTT and DDM to save money (DDM is relatively expansive in comparison to the other ingredients). So the only thing to add freshly would be DTT. Would you use it as solid or from a stock solution to save time? | |
| Feb 11 at 11:51 | comment | added | Buck Thorn♦ | Are you wondering if you can make buffer stock without DTT and DDM and store this until needed? If so what else is in the stock? Seems this is more important. Why discuss DDM/DTT at all? BTW searched DDM and found "Stock solutions are stable for up to 3 months at 4°C." on the Sigma-Aldrich website | |
