Does anyone know the proper stock concentration for cholesterol in chloroform?

23 August 2022 0 698 Report

I am trying to create a lipid milieu in a test tube. I need to pipette in various lipids in chloroform and then dry off the chloroform.

If anyone knows the standard stock concentration of cholesterol in chloroform that will be helpful.

Thanks.
