I want to use L-DOPA for cell culture.
From sigma product sheet, it says "Solutions should be freshly prepared since L-DOPA is rapidly oxidized by air and may darken on exposure to air and light."
Is it really necessary to add ascorbic acid into the L-dopa solution?
And how much should I add into the solution?
Any suggestion will be appreciated!

To prepare L-DOPA solution for cell culture, add ascorbic acid as an antioxidant to prevent oxidation and darkening. Typically, about 0.1% (w/v) ascorbic acid is used, and the solution should be freshly prepared and protected from light.

Abdelhak Maghchiche If I prepare 3ml of L-dopa stock solution, should I just add 3mg to the solution without preparing another ascorbic acid solution?
