Quality Biological Buffers

Low-EDTA 1X, pH 8.0 is molecular biology grade TE buffer used to store DNA and RNA. EDTA chelates Mg2 and other divalent metals ions – (inhibits DNAse and RNAse to suppress DNA and RNA degradation). Tris is a buffering agent to keep the solution at a defined pH – The ‘Cl’ or ‘HCl’ indicates the pH...

Ammonium-Chloride-Potassium (ACK) Lysing Buffer is used for the lysis of red blood cells in samples containing white blood cells, such as EDTA-treated whole blood, buffy coats, and bone marrow. Applications ACK Lysing Buffer is used to lyse red blood cells in samples, such as EDTA-treated whole...

Tris-acetate provides electrical conductivity and maintains pH. EDTA inhibits metal dependent nucleases by chelating the divalent cations (Ca2 , Mg2 ), thus protecting the DNA from nucleases during the run. Filtered through a 0.22 µm membrane DNase, RNase, and Protease tested Applications TAE buffer...

SSC 20X buffer is a ready-to-use standard reagent in Southern and Northern hybridization procedures used to control stringency for the washing steps after hybridization. The concentrated formula can be used straight or diluted to make SSC working solutions with concentrations as low as 0.5X....

Tris-acetate provides electrical conductivity and maintains pH. EDTA inhibits metal dependent nucleases by chelating the divalent cations (Ca2 , Mg2 ), thus protecting the DNA from nucleases during the run. Filtered through a 0.22 µm membrane DNase, RNase, and Protease tested Applications TAE buffer...

TE is composed of buffering agent Tris, and chelating agent EDTA. EDTA prevents degradation of DNA and RNA by chelating magnesium (or other divalent metal ions). Together, this Tris-EDTA based solution solubilizes DNA or RNA, while protecting it from degradation. Filtered through a 0.22 µm membrane...

PBS (phosphate buffered saline) is a balanced salt solution used for a variety biological and cell culture applications, such as washing cells before dissociation, transporting cells or tissue, diluting cells for counting, and preparing reagents. Endotoxin and Mycoplasma tested Applications PBS is...

DPBS is a balanced salt solution (BSS) used for the handling and culturing of mammalian cells. Calcium and magnesium facilitate cell binding and clumping. DPBS without these ions can be used to wash and rinse suspended cells. Without Phenol red Applications DPBS can be used to provide a buffer...

Formulated as 5X rather than the traditional 2X stocks, SDS Protein Gel Loading Solution 5X enables a larger volume of sample to be loaded per well. 5X concentrated protein gel loading buffer Applications Simply load the gel sample wells and visualize progress of the electrophoresis run by...

MOPS Buffer is used at 1X for the electrophoresis of RNA as the running buffer to separate RNA samples on agarose and formaldehyde-agarose (denaturing) gels. MOPS buffer is also used for Northern Blots -the hybridization of total RNA or mRNA to a membrane. Liquid, 10X concentration Filtered through...

Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is typically used in cell culture media as a buffer. Endotoxin and Mycoplasma Tested Applications Although NaHCO3 does not have the buffering capacity of HEPES, it is occasionally preferred over HEPES because of its lower toxicity and nutritional value to cells in...

PBS (phosphate buffered saline) is a balanced salt solution used for a variety biological and cell culture Applications , such as washing cells before dissociation, transporting cells or tissue, diluting cells for counting, and preparing reagents. Applications PBS is also useful in immunological...

DPBS is a balanced salt solution (BSS) used for the handling and culturing of mammalian cells. Calcium and magnesium facilitate cell binding and clumping. DPBS without these ions can be used to wash and rinse suspended cells. Applications DPBS can be used to provide a buffer system to maintain cell...
