10× PBS | 1× | 10 mL |
Glycerol | 90 % | 89 mL |
20 % n-propyl gallate (DMSO) | 0.2 % | 1 mL |
Total | n/a | 100 mL |
Prepare a stock of 20 % n-propyl gallate by dissolving 1 g in 5 mL DMSO prior to making the mounting media. 1 mL of this solution should be slowly added to the thoroughly mixed PBS:Glycerol (1:9) solution dropwise, while simultaneously stirring rapidly to obtain a final concentration of 0.2%. Mounting media can be stored at 4°C in the dark for several months.
