I need to prepare 1M of caffeine solution to be added into my liquid culture. We have anhydrous caffeine and caffeine sodium benzoate (40% of caffeine). For the anhydrous one, it is having difficulty to dissolve in water or DMSO. For the caffeine sodium benzoate, it dissolves easily in water but I am not sure about the calculation since it is a mixture of both caffeine and sodium benzoate. So I am wondering how to prepare 1M of caffeine solution from either one of these. Can anyone help?
