Product description:
Biological buffer TAE, also known as trimethylaminomethane acetate buffer, is a commonly used buffer for nucleic acid electrophoresis. Compared to other buffering agents, TAE buffering agents have more advantages and wider applications in electrophoresis experiments.
The advantages of TAE include the following:
1. TAE buffer has good conductivity. Due to the presence of components such as Tris and acetic acid in TAE buffer, these substances can provide good ion conductivity and accelerate ion migration during the electrophoresis process. This not only helps to quickly separate nucleic acid samples, but also reduces electrophoresis time and improves experimental efficiency.
2. The pH value of TAE buffer is relatively stable. In nucleic acid electrophoresis experiments, the stability of pH value is crucial for ensuring the accuracy of experimental results. TAE buffer has good acid-base buffering performance, which can effectively maintain a stable pH value and avoid errors in experimental results caused by pH changes.
3. TAE buffer also has lower toxicity. In scientific research, the biocompatibility and safety of experimental materials are very important. Compared with other buffering agents, TAE buffering agents have lower toxicity and have less impact on biological samples. This ensures the integrity and stability of the sample in nucleic acid electrophoresis experiments.
