Product Description

TAE (Tris-Acetate-EDTA) buffer liquid concentrate has a 50X concentration and is filtered through a 0.22 µm membrane. It has a pH of 8.5 ± 0.1. A concentration of 1X contains 0.04M Tris, 0.02M acetate, and 0.001M EDTA. TAE is used for electrophoresis of nucleic acids in agarose and polyacrylamide gels. It can be used for both genomic and large supercoiled DNA, and can also be used as both a running buffer and a gel preparation buffer. TAE is recommended for resolution of RNA and DNA fragments larger than 1500 bp, for genomic DNA and for large supercoiled DNA. TAE (Tris-Acetate-EDTA) buffer has a relatively low buffering capacity and therefore replacement of the buffer during prolonged electrophoresis is recommended.
