Drug solubility - (Jun/03/2009 )

Hi Everyone,

I am using etoposide to treat cancer cells however i am having trouble getting it into solution in PBS. Please recommend something. Also if you use etoposide do you make a fresh stock everytime you use it or make a stock and store at -80 deg. PLEASE HELP !!

Thanks :):):P:):)
