German term or phrase: gehen
"Herstellung einer 2 M Lösung Tricin pH 8,9 (Ammoniak)

Zur Chargenbewertung werden 50 ml Lösung angesetzt.

M = 179,2 g/mol

17,92 g Tricin in ca. 25 ml Reinstwasser lösen und unter Rühren mit konz. Ammoniak auf pH 8,9 bei RT einstellen. Tricin ***geht*** erst durch Zugabe von Ammoniak und durch leichtes Erwärmen in Lösung. Nach eingestelltem pH Lösung auf 50 ml mit Reinstwasser auffüllen, über 0,2 µm sterilfiltrieren und in ein Polypropylen Gefäß abfüllen."

From an SOP for handling various raw materials used for pharmaceutical purposes. I can't make head or tail of "geht" in this context. It doesn't seem to mean any of the usual things that "gehen" does. I think it has a very specific meaning in this context, but what??? TIA for your help.

Edith's answer helped me see what I was missing, and "go into solution" gets plenty of hits, so I will accordingly award the points to Edith. However, "dissolve" also seems an excellent translation, so I will enter that in the glossary also. Many thanks to everyone who contributed - appreciate your help.
