Novex™ TBE-Urea Gels, 10%

Novex TBE-Urea Gels can be stained by silver staining, ethidium bromide, and SYBR™ Green staining techniques after electrophoresis. The compact gels are available in 6%, 10%, or 15% formats and are designed to run on the XCell SureLock™ Mini-Cell.

Advantages of TBE-Urea Gels:
• Contains 7M urea for maximum denaturation
• Excellent resolution for fast size and purity confirmations of DNA or RNA oligos
• High resolution of short single-strand oligonucleotides
• Requires ∼10% sample concentration and volume of large or agarose gels
• Accurate and reproducible results

Formulation
Novex TBE-Urea gels are made with high-purity reagents, including Tris base, boric acid, EDTA, acrylamide, bisacrylamide, TEMED, APS, and 7M urea. Strict quality control ensures that gels and buffers are DNase- and RNase-free.

Recommended Buffers
For optimum performance, Novex™ TBE-Urea sample buffers and Novex™ TBE Running Buffer are strongly recommended for use with these gels. For analytical applications, Novex TBE-Urea Sample Buffer is recommended contains urea, the density agent Ficoll™, which yields sharper, straighter bands than conventional density agents, and the tracking dyes Bromophenol Blue and Xylene Cyanol.
