Preparing Stock Solutions for MTT

The following data is based on the product molecular weight 414.32

Batch specific molecular weights may vary from batch to batch due to the degree of hydration, which all affect the solvent volumes required to prepare stock solutions.

Select a batch to recalculate based on the batch molecular weight:

Concentration / Solvent Volume / Mass 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
0.13 mM 18.57 mL 92.83 mL 185.66 mL
0.65 mM 3.71 mL 18.57 mL 37.13 mL
1.3 mM 1.86 mL 9.28 mL 18.57 mL
6.5 mM 0.37 mL 1.86 mL 3.71 mL
