1M HEPES

Brij-35 (30% Solution) is a nonionic polyoxyethylene surfactant that is most frequently used as a component of cell lysis buffers or as a surfactant in various HPLC applications.

Linear acrylamide is widely used as one of the coprecipitants which are inert substances used to aid recovery of nucleic acids before alcohol precipitations.

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

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.

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

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.

CHAPSO (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-2-hydroxy-1-propanesulfonate) is a zwitterionic detergent used to solubilize proteins. Due to its low light absorbance in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum, CHAPSO is useful for researchers monitoring ongoing chemical reactions or protein-protein binding with UV/Vis spectroscopy.

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

EDTA, 0.5 M, pH 8.0, is a sterile-filtered solution of 0.5 M EDTA in H₂O treated with diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC).

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.

5M solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) in high purity dH₂O. Solution is 0.2 μm filtered and dispensed into durable, square Nalgene bottles.

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.

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.

IPTG (isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside) is a highly stable synthetic analog of lactose. It inactivates the lac repressor and induces synthesis of beta-galactosidase, an enzyme that promotes lactose utilization. IPTG is used to induce expression of cloned genes under the control of the lac operon.

MCLAB’s 7M Guanidine-HCl Solution is a ready-to-use solution of guanidine hydrochloride, which can be easily diluted and pH-adjusted to any concentration below 7M.
