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!
