- To approximately 9.7 Liters (9,700 mL) of dH2O, add the first three solutions (Components #1-3) in order while stirring.
- Bring total volume to 10 Liters (10,000 mL) with dH2O.
- Cover and autoclave or filter-sterilize if non-sterile water was used.
- When cooled, aseptically add Component #4.
- Store at refrigerator temperatures.
Note: When combined this gives a pH of 6.5 before autoclaving. Both the standard medium and medium made from the 10L Media Kit show a pH of 6.5 - 6.6 after autoclaving.
