My electroactive substance is only soluble in chloroform, I have tried mixing it with Triton x 100 but it still doesn't dissolve in PBS. Is there any reagent I can use to facilitate the dissolution of chloroform in PBS?

If chloroform is insoluble, you can do nothing to dissolve it. If you want to do elecrochemistry, use CCl4 with about 10% CH3CN.

Dear Collince Omondi Awere,
Various grades of BioPBS were dissolved in one of the three solutions: chloroform, a cosolvent system of chloroform/N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), or chloroform/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
See: Electrospinning Process and Structure Relationship of Biobased Poly(butylene succinate) for Nanoporous Fibers, 2018, DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.8b00332
Best wishes,
Ali
