I'll be extracting compounds from Asparagus racemosus powder to determine synergism with antibiotics on a MIC plate using acetone, chloroform, methanol, and DMSO.
I'm planning on putting 100 g of root in an Ehrlenmeyer flask closed to air in 0.5 L of solvent for each of the solvents, 4 flasks in total. I'll keep them at room temperature for seven days, periodically moving the material around. After, I'll strain the undissolved material, dry it, determine weight and thus concentration of the extract.
Do I have my facts straight? If anyone had any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it!
