Ammonium Persulfate (APS)

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.

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

The β-galactosidase substrate X-Gal (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-galactopyranoside) is a chromogenic stain for β-gal activity, and is commonly used to distinguish between recombinants and nonrecombinants by lacZ α-complementation with appropriate vectors and hosts.

Contains 100% active components and is a mixture of organic non - silicone polypropylene based polyether dispersions. Can be sterilized repeatedly.

TWEEN-40 is a class of emulsifiers used in some pharmaceutical and food preparations. It is often used in cosmetics to solubilize essential oils into water-based products. Polysorbates are oily liquid derived from PEGylated sorbitan (a derivative of sorbitol) esterified with fatty acids.

TE Buffer is a common molecular biology buffer used for protection of DNA and RNA from degradation. The Tris buffering agent and EDTA metal chelating properties help to protect DNA and RNA.

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

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.

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.

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.

Buffer EB is the elution buffer used in many Qiagen kits, e.g. PCR, Gel Extraction, Nucleotide Removal Kits, MinElute Kits  and the QIAprep Miniprep Kits for DNA cleanup or small-scale plasmid purification. The purified DNA can also be eluted in TE (10 mM Tris-Cl, 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0), but the EDTA may inhibit certain subsequent enzymatic reactions.

The loading dye increases the density of the sample and adds colours to the sample, thereby simplifying the loading process. The solution contains dyes that, in a electric field, move toward the anode at predictable rates.

D-(+)-Glucose is a common natural sugar involved in processes such as energy production, glycosylation, and formation of glycans that provide structure to cells. Glucose is involved in a detrimental process in cells called glycation. Glucose is used as a supplement for cell culture and in numerous cellular processes and molecular biology applications.

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

MCLAB's RNA Storage Buffer, with optimized reagents and pH value, provides better preservation and greater RNA stability for valuable RNA samples than the standard EDTA and TE Buffer or just water.
