Product Description
The Tris-Borate-EDTA (TBE) Buffer is a pH regulator and chelator used in molecular biology techniques such as nucleic acid gel electrophoresis. Supporting a pH range between 8.1 and 8.5, the TBE Buffer combines aqueous tris base, boric acid, and EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid), making it efficient as a running buffer or component of agarose gels. This product is prepared in a 10X stock concentration, and can be diluted to concentrations ideal to specific laboratory workflows.
