---++ Preparation

Generally, prepare 30-50 mL of solution in a 50 mL conical tube. 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.
