Dithiothreitol (DTT) (1 M) Preparation and Recipe

DTT (Dithiothreitol) is a commonly used reducing agent.

To prepare L of Dithiothreitol (DTT) (1 M):
Change the value in the textbox above to scale the recipe volume

Table 1. Required components

Component	Amount	Concentration
DTT (DL-dithiothreitol, anhydrous m.w. = 154.25) (mw: 154.25 g/mol)	150 g	0.9724 M

Prepare 800 mL of distilled water in a suitable container.
Add 150 g of DTT (DL-dithiothreitol, anhydrous m.w. = 154.25) to the solution.
Add distilled water until the volume is 1 L.
Dispense into 1-mL aliquots, and store them in the dark (wrapped in aluminum foil) at -20°C (indefinitely). Do not autoclave DTT or solutions containing it.
