Then, filter sterilize solutions by pushing them through a 50 mL syringe fitted with a 0.22 µm filter made of a material appropriate for the solvent. Aliquot into 1.5 mL portions in 1.7 mL tubes using the repeat pipettor. Label with a permanent marker (one that won't wash off with ethanol). Store at -20°C in the dark. ---++ Other considerations * Rifampicin is TOXIC to humans, light-sensitive, and degrades in solution rather quickly. It needs to be stored wrapped in foil and replaced every 2 months. * Ampicillin degrades quickly in both plates and stock solutions. Culture plates with Amp can be stored at 4°C for about 2 weeks. Stock solutions can be stored at 4°C for 2 weeks but can last as long as 4-6 months when stored at -20°C. In general, use carbenicillin for ampicillin selection, because it is more chemically stable. * D-cycloserine is best used within two days of pouring. A single small-scale experiment found 6-10x as many _E. coli_ colonies on 8-day old MG-Dcs plates that had spent 3 of those days at -20°C and 5 at 4°C, compared to what was found on 1 day old MG-Dcs. * Kanamycin plates only last a few weeks at 4°C; best to make fresh Kan plates every 2 weeks. ---++Non-canonical Amino Acid Stock Solutions |*Amino Acid<br>(Abbreviation)*|*CAS Number*|*Solvent*|*MW<br>(g/mol)*|*[Stock]*|*[Stock]<br>(mg/mL)*|*[Culture]*|*Notes*| |!Y|60-18-4|Water|181.19|10mM|1.812|250µM|Requires heating to 70ºC to dissolve<br> Stock precipitates out of solution at or below room temperature| |!IodoY|70-78-0|Water|307.09|10mM|3.071|250µM|Dissolves at room temperature with ~1 hour of shaking| |!AminoY <small>(FAA)</small>|300-34-5||196.203||||| |!AminoY <small>(HS)</small>|23279-22-3|Water|287.14|10mM||250µM|Dissolves readily without shaking or heat| |!BromoY|38739-13-8|Water|260.0846|10mM||250µM|| |!ChloroY|7423-93-0|Water|215.63|10mM||250µM|| |!NitroY|621-44-3|Water|226.2|10mM|2.262|250µM|Will dissolve with heating to 50ºC, no shaking| |!ONBY <small>(FAA)</small>|184591-51-3||316.31||||Light sensitive| |!ONBY <small>(S)</small>|207727-86-4|50% DMSO<br>50% Water<br>(exothermic)|352.77|50 mM||250µM|Light sensitive<br>Requires adding !OH<sup>-</sup> to dissolve| |!AzF|33173-53-4|10% DMSO<br>90% Water|206.204|10mM|2.062|250µM|Light sensitive<br>Requires heating and shaking to dissolve| |!CNF|167479-78-9|Water|190.2|10mM|1.902|250µM|Dissolves at room temperature with ~15 minutes of shaking| |<small>L</small>-DOPA|59-92-7|Water|197.1879|10mM|1.972|250µM|Oxidizes quickly and turns black in solution| |!5HTP|4350-09-8|Water|220.2246|10mM|2.202|250µM|| <br> </center> <b>FAA</b>: free amino acid<br> <b>S</b>: salt<br> <b>HS</b>: hydrated salt<br>
