Low concentration solutions of DNA are prone to DNA degradation or other loss. It is critical that optimal methods are employed for DNA suspension and long-term storage.

A routine use of agarose is ideal for daily analysis of nucleic acids by gel electrophoresis or blotting (Northern or Southern) and is also suitable for protein applications such as Ouchterlony and radial immunodiffusion (RID). It has low ethidium bromide and SYBR Green background staining.

TWEEN 20 helps to prevent non-specific antibody binding in enzyme immunoassay as a washing agent (e.g. Western blots and ELISAs). In this major application, it is dissolved in Tris-Buffered Saline or Phosphate buffered saline at dilutions of 0.05% to 0.5% v/v.

Tris Buffered Saline (TBS) is an isotonic, non-toxic buffer used in some biomedical techniques to maintain pH within a relatively narrow range. TBS can shift pH relatively drastically as temperature changes, with the pKa declining approximately 0.03 units per degree Celsius rise in temperature.

DEPC-treated Water is deionized, high quality, molecular biology grade water.

Acetylated BSA is used as a carrier protein and an enzyme stabilizer in which the absence of contaminants such as nucleases and proteases is vital. The acetylation process inactivates any trace of active nuclease activity. While the acetylation process does change BSA's binding characteristics and makes it inhibitory in PCR reactions, it is normally added to restriction digests.

Ammonium acetate is a widely used reagent in molecular biology and chromatography. Suitable applications include the purification and precipitation of DNA and protein crystallization. Ammonium acetate is commonly used in HPLC and MS analysis of various compounds, such as oligosaccharides, proteins, and peptides.

MCLAB's high-purity 30% acrylamide/bis-acrylamide solution is a safer alternative to handling powdered acrylamide.

Ammonium Sulfate. (NH4)₂SO₄ is an inorganic salt with a number of commercial uses.

HEPES Solution is a biological buffer useful in cell culture media. Selection of suitable nutrient medium is dependent on type of cell, conditions of culture, and degree of chemical definition required for the cell culture application.

LB Agar plates contain 1.0% Tryptone, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.5% NaCl, 1.5% agar.

Ammonium Persulfate (APS) is an oxidizing agent that is used with TEMED to catalyze the polymerization of acrylamide and bisacrylamide to prepare polyacrylamide gels for electrophoresis.

The Super-DITM Formamide is the recommended sample loading buffer for all ABI sequencers.

Sodium hydroxide is commonly used in the clandestine production of methamphetamine to change the pH of the solution to a basic pH so that it can become soluble in an organic solution.

5M solution of betaine in MilliQ H2O. DNase, RNase free.

TAE buffer is the most commonly used buffer for DNA agarose gel electrophoresis but is also used for non-denaturing RNA agarose gel electrophoresis¹. Double-stranded DNA tends to run faster in TAE than in other buffers but can also become exhausted during extended electrophoresis. 

Reported use in all phases of detergent compounding and aqueous processing in the textile and paper industries, in industrial metal cleaners, acid cleaners, floor cleaners, detergent sanitizers and waterless hand cleaners.
