TAE buffer

TAE buffer (Tris-Acetate-EDTA) is a solution used in laboratories to help with the process of running DNA through a gel during electrophoresis. It maintains a stable pH and provides ions that allow electrical current to flow, which moves the negatively charged DNA molecules through the gel. TAE buffer ensures that the DNA remains stable and that the migration is consistent, making it easier for scientists to analyze DNA fragments. It’s a common, reliable solution essential for genetic research and DNA analysis.
