To make 200 ml 0.4XSSC (Saline and Sodium Citrate) solution for FISH post-washing, how many ml 20X SSC solution is needed?

In the data given, it is all about measuring the concentration of salt solution using salometer in different treatments such as distilled water, tap water and boiled. In the data how to know which of the three (3) is better? what are their differences?

Match the following descriptions to the tonicity adjusting method which they describe. - Cryoscopic method - White-Vincent Method - E method - Sprowl's method It is the most widely used method in adjusting tonicity by the amount of sodium chloride. This method expresses the freezing point in terms of 1% solution. This method uses a constant that denotes the volume of isotonic preparation in milliliters when 1 gram of sodium chloride is dissolved in water. This method uses a constant of 0.3 to denote the weight of the drug. This method uses the equation "V = 33.33E".
