1. Solution A: Dissolve subsequently the following chemicals in
750 ml distilled water in a glass beaker: 4.2 g ammonium
molybdate, 28.6 ml concentrated H 2 SO 4 , and 20 g sodium
dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Fill up to 1 l with distilled water
( see Note 7 ).
2. Solution B: 10 % (w/v) ascorbic acid. Prepare fresh before
starting the experiment.
3. Calculate the needed total volume of the phosphate reagent
for an experiment and prepare the reagent by mixing 6 volumes
of solution A and 1 volume of solution B. Prepare fresh before
the experiment.
