There was some interest in the sodium borate buffer DNA electrophoresis so I thought that I would look around for companies that sell the stuff. I actually had a hard time finding anyone who sells sodium borate electrophoresis buffer (e.g. couldn’t find it in Invitrogen, Biorad, etc.), but the company Labsupplymall does sell a 20X [...]
Sodium Borate Electrophoresis Buffer (SBE buffer) is an excellent alternative to traditional TBE (TRIS borate-EDTA) and TAE (TRIS acetate-EDTA) electrophoresis buffers. SBE buffer allows for higher voltage runs, extremely rapid running times, and high-resolution band separation.
Brody and Kern described sodium borate buffer for nucleic acid electrophoresis several years ago (Sodium boric acid: a Tris-free, cooler [...]
