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.

This is the first time I am working with DNA and I have to dissolve the dried oligos in PBS( 10mM phosphate buffer, 100mM NaCl, ph=7.4) buffer. However I don't understand how to do that. I will really appreciate if somebody can please explain me. Thank you in advance.

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
