The buffer tends to yellow with age. Light yellowbuffer may be used, however, dark yellow solutions should be discarded.1X Working Concentration: 10X Stock Solution:20 mM MOPS (pH 7.0) 41.8 g MOPS8 mM NaOAc 800 ml DEPC treated H2O1 mM EDTA (pH 8.0) adjust pH to 7 with NAOH and add:16.6 ml 3M DEPC-treated NaOAc20.0 ml 0.5 M DEPC-treatedEDTA, pH 8 bring to 1.0 liter andfilter
