Materials
- sterile De-Ionized Water
- kanamycin (BP906-5)
Procedure
- Fill a 50mL centrifuge tube with 20mL of sterile, DI water. (we use a centrifuge tube because it must withstand vigorous vortexing)
- Weigh out 1g kanamycin. Insert this into the tube.
- Vortex the tube vigorously until it is well-mixed.
- Aliquot the solution into 1.5mL eppendorf tubes. Label each tube. Store them in a labelled bag in the -20C chest freezer in 3007.
