# When inducing with anhydrotetracycline (aTc), the stock solution from Clonetech (#631310) is '''2 mg/mL in 50% EtOH''', which is a 10,000X stock solution. '''Working concentration should 200 ng/mL.''' &lt;br /&gt;

# When inducing with 3OC6 (HSL), use a '''2000 fold dilution of a 10 mg/mL stock solution'''. We have dissolved in EtOH which is not the best - degrades with time. Keep this cold. &lt;br /&gt;
#When growing '''thyA- cells''', add 50 µg/mL thymine to your media. Our thyA- cells have a Kan&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;R&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; resistant plasmid that caused the mutation. So it is best to always use kanamycin to maintain the thyA- genotype. Thymine stock solutions (4mg/mL) can be autoclaved. &lt;br /&gt;
