I need to use Trypan Blue 0,2% for my research, but I can not find a suitable formula to dilute powder.
Raghd Muhi Al-Deen Jassim
Weigh out 0.2 grams of Trypan Blue powder using a scale that can measure in milligrams. Add the Trypan Blue powder to a clean and dry glass or plastic container. Add 100 milliliters of a suitable solvent, such as sterile distilled water, to the container with the Trypan Blue powder. Stir the solution vigorously using a stir bar or a glass rod until the powder has completely dissolved. Filter the solution through a 0.22-micron filter to remove any impurities or particles that may interfere with cell counting. The Trypan Blue solution is now ready to use.
To prepare a Trypan Blue solution with a concentration of 0.2% from the powder, you can follow these steps:
It is important to sterilize the solution before use, especially if it is going to be used for cell culture. You can sterilize the solution using a sterile filter or by autoclaving it at 121°C for 15 minutes.

Weigh out the appropriate amount of Trypan Blue powder using a balance. For a 0.2% solution, you will need 0.2 grams of Trypan Blue powder for every 100 milliliters of solution. Dissolve the Trypan Blue powder in a suitable solvent. Trypan Blue is soluble in water, saline, and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). You can choose any of these solvents, depending on your experimental requirements. For example, if you are working with cell cultures, you may prefer to use PBS. Mix the solution thoroughly to ensure that the Trypan Blue powder is completely dissolved. You can use a magnetic stirrer or vortex mixer for this step. Filter the solution through a 0.22-micron filter to remove any particulate matter that may interfere with your experiments.
To prepare a 0.2% Trypan Blue solution from the powder, you will need to follow these steps:
Your 0.2% Trypan Blue solution is now ready for use in your research. Make sure to store it in a clean, dry container, and protect it from light, as Trypan Blue is light-sensitive.
