Buffer solution working with DNA -- I have to dissolve dried oligos in PBS

AI Thread Summary
To dissolve dried oligonucleotides in PBS (10mM phosphate buffer, 100mM NaCl, pH 7.4), it is essential to prepare the buffer correctly. The process involves mixing specific amounts of sodium phosphate dibasic and sodium phosphate monobasic to achieve the desired pH, along with adding sodium chloride for ionic strength. Detailed instructions for preparing PBS at pH 7.4 can be found in the linked article, which provides a comprehensive guide on the necessary components and their concentrations. Proper preparation of PBS is crucial for effective oligo dissolution and subsequent experiments.

Engineers slash iridium use in electrolyzer catalyst by 80%, boosting path to affordable green hydrogen https://news.rice.edu/news/2025/engineers-slash-iridium-use-electrolyzer-catalyst-80-boosting-path-affordable-green Ruthenium is also fairly expensive (a year ago it was about $490/ troy oz, but has nearly doubled in price over the past year, now about $910/ troy oz). I tracks prices of Pt, Pd, Ru, Ir and Ru. Of the 5 metals, rhodium (Rh) is the most expensive. A year ago, Rh and Ir...
