10X Tris-EDTA buffer (pH7.4) - 10 bags

10 bags of a 10-fold Tris-EDTA buffer (pH7.4) - ready-to-use Tris/HCl-EDTA powder mixture for 1L ready-to-use buffer solution of pH7.4.

This TE buffer is composed by Tris, a buffering agent and EDTA. EDTA has the ability to prevent degradation of DNA and RNA by chelating magnesium- or other divalent metal ions.Tris-EDTA-based solutions break protein cross-links and can therefore unmask antigens and epitopes in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue sections.

Treatment with TE buffer enhances the staining intensity of antibodies in the immuno-histochemical detection of certain proteins.

TE buffer powder is supplied as exactly pre-weighed powder in pouches. To prepare the buffer, the content of a bag is simply dissolved in 1L of deionized water. This results in a 0.1M Tris/HCl, 0.01M EDTA buffer of pH7.4 at 25°C.
