Abstract
For use in DNase I Treatment protocol for DNase inactivation.
Guidelines
Note: EDTA tetrasodium salt dihydrate is somewhat more soluble and can be made more easily to 1.5M. FW is slightly more so weigh out 3.80 g and follow directions above.
Weigh out 3.72 g EDTA and place in 5 ml molecular biology grade water.
Add a few NaOH pellets to get to pH 9 and dissolve EDTA (can warm to 45°C with stirring to aid in dissolution).
Measure volume and determine molarity: 1M = 3.72g/10 ml, therefore, measured volume/10 ml = final molarity.
