∗The calcium chloride 0.2M stock solution is provided with purchase of Medium 154CF, or can be made in-house.
∗∗We recommend centrifuging BPE to remove particulates prior to freezing aliquots to use in supplementing media. While not a required step, this will significantly reduce potential for debris that causes clouding of media (which could otherwise be confused with microbial contamination). Centrifuge for 20 min at 16,000 rpm (∼20,000 x g), 4°C, then sterile filter through a 0.45 μm filter, then finally a 0.2 μm filter, prior to freezing aliquots at -80°C.
