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.

Caution: *Note: TBE has a tendency to precipitate over time. If this occurs, redissolve in solution.
