1X Tris-EDTA, pH 7.0

TE buffer, also called "T10E1" Buffer or "T ten E one buffer", is composed of Tris, a buffering agent and EDTA, a chelating agent. EDTA prevents the degradation of DNA and RNA by chelating divalent metal ions which are required for nuclease activity. The Tris buffering agent and EDTA metal chelating properties help protect DNA and RNA. 1X Tris-EDTA, pH 7.0 is a ready to use protective solution containing Tris and EDTA used to prevent nuclease mediated degradation of genetic material. This TE Buffer preserves Nucleic Acid integrity and acts as a Chelating Agent for a professional Molecular DNA Storage Protocol.
