Nucleic Acid Electrophoresis Buffers
QuickSilver™ TAE (Tris-acetate-EDTA)
TAE is ideal for separation of large DNA fragments in agarose gels and is used as running buffer and in gel preparation.
TAE is the buffer of choice when recovering DNA from gels and when downstream processing involves enzymatic reactions. Final concentration of a 1X working solution is 40mM Tris, 20mM acetic acid, 1mM EDTA.
QuickSilver™ TBE (Tris-borate-EDTA)
TBE is used in gel preparation and as a running buffer for electrophoresis of nucleic acids. TBE works best for resolution of smaller fragments (<2kb). Its higher buffering capacity makes it useful for longer runs. The final concentration of a 1X working solution is 89mM Tris, 89mM boric acid, 2mM EDTA.
QuickSilver™ Fast Running Buffer
QuickSilver Fast Running Buffer is a proprietary blend formulated for agarose gel electrophoresis at high voltage (300-350V). Its strong buffering capacity minimizes heat generation all allows for extremely fast separation of fragments smaller that 5kb. A typical 30 minute run can be performed in just 10 minutes using this buffer.
