Add approximately 80 ml double distilled water to a beaker. With stiring add components 1 - 9 in order. Add water to bring to 100 ml. This can be stored up to two weeks as a stock at 5 C if filtered and kept sterile. On day of use, add component 10 and adjust the pH to 7.40 at 20 - 22 C. The pH of the final medium is not temperature sensitive and pH at 39 C will be 7.40.
