General description

Bionic Buffer is a unique alternative to traditional TBE (TRIS borate-EDTA) and TAE (TRIS acetate-EDTA) electrophoresis buffers. Bionic Buffer allows for higher voltage runs, extremely rapid running times, and high-resolution band separation.

Application

Suitable for:
  • Use as running buffer for nucleic acid electrophoresis, which may be part of Northern and Southern blot hybridization procedures
  • Use with TBA and TAE gels
  • Preparation of agarose gels

Features and Benefits

  • Faster run times
  • Sharper bands
  • Easy to dilute and use
  • Flexible use with a variety of gel types

Packaging

The 4 L and 10 L sizes are supplied in dispensers with a spigot.

Caution

Test electrophoresis chambers to determine highest voltage. Voltages beyond the recommended range for your apparatus may result in blown fuses or damage to your apparatus.

Studies of embryo cryopreservation efficiency have focused mainly on technical and embryo factors. To determine how a slow freezing process affects embryo and fetal development, we studied in vivo development ability after the freezing procedure by assessing blastocyst development at
