Kimberly Yu, Oct. 13, 2004

Final working solution:
   pH: ~8.5
   40mM Tris.acetate
   2mM Na2EDTA.2H2O

In a 300ml Beaker, add 37.2g Na-EDTA (FW 372.24g). Add Millipore water until total volume is approximately 250 mL. Stir with stirbar, low/medium heat may be required.

In a 1000 mL Nalgene beaker, add 242g Tris Base. Add Millipore water until total volume is approximately 300 mL. Stir. Add 57.1 mL (FW 60.05) glacial acetic acid (measure in hood). Stir.

Add the Na-EDTA mixture (including stir bar). Bring total volume to 1,000 mL (1 L) using Millipore water.

Stir until completely dissolved. Solution should be clear.
