100% TCA solution means that 100ml solution contain 100g TCA, so there should be only a little water add in. We made 100%TCA by add in just a little bit of H20 and let the TCA dissolve by itself. Top up using H20 if neccesarry to have final concentration of 1g/ml TCA

Maniatis recipe is 500 g TCA plus 227 g of water.
