TBE (TRIS Borate EDTA) is often used in procedures involving nucleic acids, the most common being electrophoresis. ¿ Tris-acid solutions are effective buffers for slightly basic conditions, which keep DNA deprotonated and soluble in water. ¿ Applications: TBE Buffer, 1X is used for DNA electrophoresis. ¿ TBE Buffer, 0.5X is used for electrophoresis onto DEAE cellulose membrane. ¿ TBE Buffer, 2X is used for polyacrylamide and agarose electrophoresis. ¿ TBE is also used for other nucleic acid electrophoresis procedures such as Northern and Southern blots. ¿ Storage Conditions: 15 to 30¿C ¿ Shipping Condition: ambient temperature ¿ Sterile Filtered ¿ DNase, RNase, and Protease Tested ¿ Product and/or packaging contains recycled/renewable content ¿ Product and/or packaging is recyclable or reduces waste ¿ Product and/or packaging is safer to human and environmental health ¿ ¿ Max Shelf Life: 36 months
