General description

SSC (Saline Sodium Citrate) Buffer 20x liquid is a standard reagent in Southern and Northern hybridization procedures. It is used to control stringency of wash buffer for the washing steps after hybridization.

Application

SSC Buffer 20× Concentrate has been used
  • as a hybridization buffer on in situ hybridization human-specific repetitive Alu sequence
  • as a washing buffer for membrane for Southern hybridization, dot blot of mice genomic DNA and northern blotting of microRNA
  • as an incubation buffer in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of L1 retrotransposon

Features and Benefits

  • Convenient ready-to-use liquid
  • Multi-purpose use in hybridizations

Preparation Note

SSC Buffer 20x contains 3M NaCl in 0.3M sodium citrate (pH 7.0).
