This achievement is missable particularly is going for the maxed all tracks achievement.
**I CAN CONFIRM DLC TONICS COUNT TOWARDS THE TOTAL. The achievement unlocked for me in at the end of Apollo Square and there were still 4 to collect from Point Prometheus. This also occurred in the original however I thought they may have fixed it on this game, but clearly they haven't, So you have a leeway of 4 **
Managing your resources of ADAM is essential. You will only get a certain amount of ADAM in one playthrough which can be spent on other things. Try not to buy any Plasmid upgrades, Health upgrades or Eve upgrades until you have this achievement and the maxed all tracks achievement.
There are 21 Little Sisters and you get 80 ADAM for each one you rescue. You get an additional 200 ADAM each time you rescue 3 Little Sisters. That is a maximum of 3080 ADAM and you need 1360 ADAM just to buy the 16 slots required for maxed all tracks achievement.
Tonics are acquired in various way:
-9 are earned as Research rewards (Using Camera on subject)
-8 can be bought from Gatherers Gardens
-3 can be Invented at U-Invent
-3 are earned as Gifts for rescuing Little Sisters (you need all 18 to be saved)
-the other 30 are scattered throughout the whole game (check if you got them all before leaving a level to minimize backtracking)
I will now list the tonics in order they appear in the game:

I have 66 Tonics during my second play-through (New Game +) and stuck at 94%. My Audio Diary is also stuck at 97%. Broken achievements are THE WORST.
Edit: Using the DLC technique listed above, it is not the NUMBER of Tonics, but the type. I already had all these in the Campaign. But I had to purchase the right one separately again in DLC. Once it loaded, going through one at a time and reloading my save, it finally popped. Thanks for the comments here. Extremely helpful. Whew!

I haven't seen this mentioned on the 360's version of the game either, but I was able to get this achievement over two playthroughs, so it doesn't have to be done in one. After my first play, my achievement meter read 93%. So I started a new game to get this and used the checklist above. I was in Hephaestus when this unlocked, as I wasn't close to the 53 needed. I found or earned some that I hadn't in the first play, but it accumulated. Not a huge deal, but found it interesting.

This is the list of all 53 tonics, along with where you can get them. Note that some sources will say you have to SAVE all Little Sisters in order to get this achievement - apparently this is not true for the Remastered version. I am harvesting Little Sisters in my current playthrough, and I acquired the last one I needed in Olympus Heights without the gifts from them. The original list from Xbox 360 is preserved, with those awarded from saving Little Sisters in strikethrough.

Here's a guide I put together for all of the collectibles in Bioshock Remastered including all of the physical, combat and engineering tonics. Hopefully it helps some of you out.

I went for platinum on my first playthrough. There was a trophy on the photo of all the enemies.
Before the last boss, I started buying all the tonics I didn’t have, and the trophy dropped. Don't forget to save.
There is no need to buy improved versions of plasmids.

I created half of the tonics in the “Universal Converter”. For this, “enzymes” were needed, collected them from the corpses of splicers and saved them. As soon as the opportunity arose to create tonics, I riveted a bunch of them, all of which were available.

The trophy is glitchy. I got it when I still didn’t have all the tonics. Somewhere in the middle of the game.

I recommend not spending a lot of Adam on improving health and plasmids, since then you may not have enough to buy the missing tonics
