Preparation of Buffers and Solutions | Laboratory | Biotechnology
The following guidelines should be followed while making reagents, buffers, etc. 1. Use highest grade of reagents wherever possible. 2. Prepare all solutions with double distilled or distilled water. 3. Autoclave solutions whenever possible. Solutions that cannot withstand autoclaving should be sterilized using 0.2 mm filter. 4. pH meter should carefully be checked using freshly […]
