[Histonet] making 10 % EDTA

[Goins, Tresa]

The molecular weight of the EDTA will vary depending on chemical makeup - regardless, the solution you have is probably less than 10% already.  EDTA tri-sodium salt with MW 358 at 0.25 M is 89.5 g per liter or 8.95 g per 100 ml or 8.95%.

Hi Histonetters,
 
I have purchased a liquid EDTA solution that is .25M. I need to make 10% EDTA.  Do I just dilute it 1/10 with DI water?
 
 
Thanks
