VWR®, Tris-borate-EDTA (TBE) buffer
TBE is optimised for DNA electrophoresis techniques using both acrylamide and agarose. Buffers are available as liquid concentrate or Ready-Pack™ (a foil pouch containing sufficient material to prepare 1 litre of 10X concentrate).
- High buffering capacity
- High ionic strength
- Allows extended electrophoresis runs without buffer recirculation
- Convenient packaging options minimise weighing and mixing
- Free from DNase, RNase and protease
Composition of (1X) solution contains 0,089 M Tris base, 0,089 M borate and 0,002 M EDTA, disodium salt, dihydrate with a final pH of 8,3.
: *Note: TBE has a tendency to precipitate over time. If this occurs, redissolve in solution.
