I recently bought D-Valine from Sigma (V1255-1G). It indicates to dilute it at 50 mg/mL in water but it doesn't say anything about storage conditions after dilution. Has anyone already used this product and how was it stored after dilution?
Hello Oliver, thank you very much for the answer.
I just started the dilution of the powder, however there are a lot of clumps that do not disolve in water. I have tried resuspending and shaking the falcon tube, but the clumps do not go away. Did you use a lower concentration or solvent?, how did you get rid of the clumps?
Cheers!
Hi Oliver, it should dissolve to a concentration of 5% in water. You might need to put it in a bath sonicator to get it to fully dissolve; just make sure it doesn't heat up. I would suggest aliquoting your solution and storing it at -20'C, and just using one freeze-thaw cycle. Good Luck
