ROTIPHORESE®5x TBE-Puffer, 2,5 l, Glas

The TBE buffer is optimally suited as a gel and running buffer system.

TBE buffer has a higher buffer capacity than TAE, but also leads to stronger heating of the gels. A slightly lower voltage should therefore be selected when gelling. DNA migrates in the TBE gel about half as fast as in TAE-buffered gels.
ROTIPHORESE^®TBE buffer has a high buffer capacity and is therefore ideally suited as a gel and running buffer system for sequencing gels.

ROTIPHORESE^®5x TBE buffer contains 0,5 M Tris-Borate pH 8,3 and 10 mM EDTA in distilled, deionised water; pH 8,3.

Suitable for manufacturing sequencing gels with ROTIPHORESE^®Gel 40 and as a running buffer.

ROTIPHORESE^®TBE buffer is usually used as 1x or 0.5-fold concentrated solution. TBE buffer is particularly suitable for the separation of small DNA fragments in the gel (up to 3 kb). TBE buffer is not suitable for use of gels for gel extraction of DNA.
