Hi,
I'd like to adapt hippurate hydrolysis test to microplate reader. Has anyone done this before, maybe? I assume both Na hippurate and ninhydrin must be available as powder? The question is what wavelength do you read the purple color? 610?
If I buffer a liquid growth medium with PBS (say I use 100 mL of PBS and 900 mL of dd H20 to dissolve the required amount of dried liquid medium) and my starting pH is 7, how effective would it be...
