Application

Ready for use in gel electrophoresis after dilution to working concentrations.
TBE running buffer is the most commonly used buffer for DNA and RNA polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. TBE is used with non-denaturing or denaturing (7 M urea) gels. It is also routinely used for DNA automated sequencing gel. TBE can also be used for agarose gels but is not recommended for preparative gels for recovery of nucleic acids.
Dilution of the TBE stock concentrates to a 1× TBE running buffer results in a buffer containing 89 mM Tris-borate and 2 mM EDTA, pH 8.3. The 5× or 10× stocks may also be added to an acrylamide/bis-acrylamide stock solution for making the PAGE gel. Applied voltages of less than 5 V/cm (distance between the electrodes of the unit) are recommended for maximum resolution.

Packaging

1L poly bottle contains a powder blend that can be dissolved and reconstituted within the bottle to prepare one liter of a 5× concentrate.
4L poly bottle contains a powder blend that can be dissolved and reconstituted to prepare four liters of a 5× concentrate.


Preparation Note

Prepared with Biotechnology Performance Certified Trizma base (Product Code T6066) and Molecular Biology Reagents boric acid (Product Code B6768) and EDTA disodium salt (Product Code E5134).
Produces a 5× concentrate (0.445 M Tris-borate, 10 mM EDTA, pH 8.3) after dissolving with the indicated amount of water.

Questions

  1. I have a bottle of your Tris borate- EDTA buffer substance (powder) it is 5 x concentrate, I need to know how much powder to add to 1000ml water please?

    1 answer
    1. This product is pre-aliquoted with the appropriate amount to generate 1 or 4 L of a 5X concentrate. The 1L poly bottle contains a powder blend that can be dissolved and reconstituted within the bottle to prepare one liter of a 5× concentrate. The 4L poly bottle contains a powder blend that can be dissolved and reconstituted to prepare 4L of a 5× concentrate.
