Application

Ready for use in gel electrophoresis after dilution to working concentrations.

TBE running buffer is the most commonly used buffer for DNA and RNA polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.TBE is used with non-denaturing or denaturing (7 M urea) gels. It is also routinely used for DNA automated sequencing gel. TBE can also be used for agarose gels but is not recommended for preparative gels for recovery of nucleic acids.
Dilution of the TBE stock concentrates to a 1× TBE running buffer results in a buffer containing 89 mM Tris-borate and 2 mM EDTA, pH 8.3. The 5× or 10× stocks may also be added to an acrylamide/bis-acrylamide stock solution for making the PAGE gel. Applied voltages of less than 5 V/cm (distance between the electrodes of the unit) are recommended for maximum resolution.

Packaging

1L poly bottle contains a powder blend that can be dissolved and reconstituted within the bottle to prepare one liter of a 5× concentrate.
4L poly bottle contains a powder blend that can be dissolved and reconstituted to prepare four liters of a 5× concentrate.

Preparation Note

Prepared with Biotechnology Performance Certified Trizma base (Product Code T6066) and Molecular Biology Reagents boric acid (Product Code B6768) and EDTA disodium salt (Product Code E5134).

Reconstitution

Produces a 5× concentrate (0.445 M Tris-borate, 10 mM EDTA, pH 8.3) after dissolving with the indicated amount of water.

Epidemiological study of E. coli O157:H7 isolated in Northern Ireland using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).

Miyuki Watabe et al.

The Ulster medical journal, 77(3), 168-174 (2008-10-30)

In Northern Ireland over the last 7 years, there is a mean of 41.9 laboratory reports per annum of human gastrointestinal infection (range 19-54) caused by Escherichia coli O157:H7. In the preceding years 1992-1996, reports were 5.4 per annum, whereas

The use of caspase inhibitors in pulsed-field gel electrophoresis may improve the estimation of radiation-induced DNA repair and apoptosis.

Josep Balart et al.

Radiation oncology (London, England), 6, 6-6 (2011-01-18)

Radiation-induced DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair can be tested by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) in agarose-encapsulated cells. However, previous studies have reported that this assay is impaired by the spontaneous DNA breakage in this medium. We investigated the mechanisms

A method for nanofluidic device prototyping using elastomeric collapse.

Seung-min Park et al.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 106(37), 15549-15554 (2009-09-01)

Nanofluidics represents a promising solution to problems in fields ranging from biomolecular analysis to optical property tuning. Recently a number of simple nanofluidic fabrication techniques have been introduced that exploit the deformability of elastomeric materials like polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). These techniques
