Hi Wenlu,
Thanks for your message.
To make 1 L DAB solution, I would recommend adding 900 ml sterile distilled water to 1 g DAB, then add proportional Tween-20 and top up with 200 mM Na2HPO4. Also, try to use acidified DAB instead of just DAB, then you don't need to do the acidification step in my protocol.
Yes, Ethanol: Acetic Acid: Glycerol=3:1:1 means 3 portion ethanol, 1 portion so on. Don't make it in water. Take 300 ml Ethanol, add 100 ml Acetic acid and 100 ml glycerol, and use this as the bleaching solution.
It would be great if you post your result here. Good luck!
