Tip: with small masses, adjust volume rather than mass when making a solution

When you have a small amount to weigh out, don’t worry about being exact. Instead, it’s easier to change the volume to match what you weigh to get your desired concentration.
If you start with a desired weight/volume concentration, divide your actual measured weight by that desired concentration. Taking any unit conversions into account, the weights cancel out, leaving you with volume
If you start with molarity, just add a step to convert to weight/volume by multiplying the molarity by the molecular weight.
It can also be helpful to do the weighing in the tube so you don’t have to worry about loss during transfer.
Hope that helps!

Why would you need/want a filler protein like BSA?

It can help provide molecular crowding and prevent sticking to the walls of the tubes, etc.
