Before start
This solution MUST be prepared in a sterile and starch-free environment.
Add 300 mL distilled (or deionized) dH2O to a 1000 mL beaker, with stirring and heat 60 °C
Add:
- 1.55 g Calcium Chloride
- 1.44 g Sodium Phosphate monobasic
- 0.72 g Sodium FluorophosphateMerck MilliporeSigma (Sigma-Aldrich)Catalog #344443
- 0.08 g Magnesium ChlorideFisher ScientificCatalog #AC223210010
- 30 g UreaP212121
Add the remaining 700 mL and keep stirring until precipitate has completely dissolved
Store in fridge at 4 °C
Note
The solution should be filter-sterilised before storing!
