TE Buffer (100 X): Ultimate Nucleic Acid Stability and Storage
TE Buffer (100 X) from National Diagnostics is the industry standard for the solubilisation and long-term protection of DNA and RNA samples. In any molecular biology workflow, the preservation of nucleic acid integrity is paramount; this buffer solves the problem of unintended degradation by providing a stable environment that actively inhibits the enzymatic activity responsible for sample loss.
The technology functions through the synergistic effect of Tris and EDTA. Tris acts as a pH stabiliser, maintaining a consistent alkaline environment (pH 8.0) where DNA is most stable. Simultaneously, the EDTA serves as a potent chelating agent, sequestering divalent cations such as Mg2+ that are essential cofactors for DNase activity. This dual-action approach ensures that purified genetic material remains intact during storage and downstream processing.
Key Benefits:
- Robust Protection: Inhibits nuclease activity. Effectively chelates metal ions to prevent DNA and RNA degradation.
- Concentrated Efficiency: Versatile 100 X formulation. Provides a space-saving stock solution that can be easily adjusted to specific experimental requirements.
- High Purity: Contaminant-free. Manufactured using ultra-pure reagents and certified nuclease-free to protect sensitive genomic samples.
- Optimised pH: Maximum DNA stability. Precisely adjusted to pH 8.0 to ensure nucleic acids remain in a soluble, stable state.
