How to grow E.coli on the low salt LB agar plate with 50 or 100ug/ml of Blasticidin?

Hello, I would like to ask how to grow E.coli which resists 50 or 100ug/ml of Blasticidin. I have tried many methods by using low salt Luria-Bertain(LB) agar plate. However, no colonies grow. Let...

What could be the reason for not having further low chi square value (better agreement) in my refinement result?

I have tried every combination of parameter changes and after that i have a poor chi square value. I can't get it lower any further. I know there have been a lot of discussion about Rietveld...

How to replicate the well conditions of a crystal hit with 20%(w/v) isopropanol?

I had a crystal hit in a well with 0.1M HEPEs pH 7.5, 10%(w/v) PEG 4000, and 20%(w/v) isopropanol. Why is isopropanol in w/v here if it's just solvent? How do I recreate this well condition?

Dear John,

I recommend to read this article.

Good luck

I am puzzled... You have the phase identified by XRD data which tells you it is TiB2. If this is correct you already have the Ti:B ratio, it is 1:2. Since I cannot believe that this is your real question, can you try to describe what you are really interested in?

Saju John

Thanks Dear Randi Azmi for the useful related links.

Dear Gert Nolze, I purchased a commercial TiB2 sample and want to check whether the ratio is 1:2. Now I have the XRD spectrum and I assigned the lattice planes to different peaks referring some published articles.

I still do not get it. It is a stochiometric phase. If you can identify this phase , and there is no other phase (detection limit is commonly 2%), the experimentally ratio is 1:2. XRD does not have this precision or accuracy to discover smaller deviations from stochiometry. Differences in peak height (or rather intensity) are related to other experimental limitations (texture, misalignments, amorphisation during sample prep etc) and do not correlate to the stochiometry.
