Synonyms: TE Buffer, Tris-EDTA Buffer, T10E1 Buffer
The TE Buffer is a common molecular biology buffer used for protection of DNA and RNA from degradation. The Tris buffering agent and EDTA metal chelating properties help protect DNA and RNA.
The TE Buffer [10X] is offered in 0.5 and 1L sizes, suitable for 5 and 10 liters of [1X] TE Buffer, respectively.
