1xTris-EDTA Buffer

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

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.

Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is a balanced salt solution that is used for a variety of cell culture applications, such as washing cells before dissociation, transporting cells or tissue samples, diluting cells for counting, and preparing reagents. PBS is formulated without calcium and magnesium for rinsing chelators from the culture before cell dissociation.

Used to select for ampicillin resistance in mutated and transformed cells.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) has many uses as a carrier protein and as a stabilizing agent in enzymatic reactions. MCLAB’s Ultrapure BSA is a "non-acetylated" BSA, pure enough to use when the integrity of DNA or RNA is essential. It has been tested for DNase, RNase, endonuclease, protease, peroxidase, and alkaline phosphatase activity, and assayed for fluorescence background.

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

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.
