- Use fresh 1X TAE both for the gel and for the electrophoresis run
- To prepare 1X TAE buffer add 20ml of 50X TAE buffer to 980ml of deionized water and mix well
Quality Control
- The absence of endo-, exodeoxyribonucleases and ribonucleases confirmed by appropriate quality tests
1X Composition
- 40mM Tris
- 20mM acetic acid
- 1mM EDTA
- pHof 50X TAE: 8.4
Recommended for:
Electrophoresis of nucleic acids in agarose and polyacrylamide gels; Used both as a running buffer and as a gel preparation buffer; Filtered through a 0.22μm membrane; Recommended for resolution of RNA and DNA fragments l.
Note:
TAE buffer has a relatively low buffering capacity, therefore periodic replacement of the buffer during prolonged electrophoresis is recommended.
