add 0.5gm SDS to some 70 ml water. disolve and make up teh volume to 100 ml!!! :)
precausions to be taken.. don shake too much.. frothing will lead to wrong volume adjustment.. and if the SDS does not dissolve it will do so very easily at 65 degrees in a water bath!!!
Best luck!!!
And ya the question was uite silly!!! ^_^

And do not autoclave it.

And wear a mask when you weigh the powder
