[Histonet] Citrate Buffer pH2.0

[Goins, Tresa]

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

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.
Thanks
