Is there a way to keep nickel phosphate from precipitating when nickel chloride is added top PBS?

21 July 2016 1 7K Report

I need to add NiCl2 to PBS for an assay but it causes turbidity, possible due to precipitates of nickel phosphate. is there a way to prevent this?

Maria Genovese

Hi you can change the buffer and use MOPS or PIPES instead of PBS which do not induce precipitation of divalent ions. I hope this helps
