1M IPTG

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.

SDS, sodium dodecyl sulfate is an anionic surfactant. SDS is commonly used in laboratory as a component of buffer for cell lysis, cell lysis during DNA extraction, and mostly in SDS-PAGE running buffer. Indeed, SDS is an anionic detergent applied to protein samples to linearize proteins and to impart a negative charge to linearized proteins.

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.

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.

25% Triton X-100 is a commonly used detergent in laboratories.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

TRITON X-114 is used in biochemical applications to solubilize and separate proteins due to its low cloud point (23 °C).

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.
