General description

Tris, acetate, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (TAE) buffer consists of tris(2-amino-2-[hydroxymethyl]-1,3-propanediol) base, acetate, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). This is one of the most used running buffers in nucleic acid electrophoresis. TAE buffer improves the separation or resolution of large DNA fragments.TAE, a standard buffer, is mainly used to perform agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA and RNA in slab gels. TAE is one of the commonly used buffers in every biochemistry and molecular biology laboratory.

Preparation Note

Dilute 1:10 with H₂O to prepare a 1X solution.
