Novex™ TBE Gels provide the highest resolution possible for analyzing restriction digests and PCR products. DNA fragments ranging from 10 to 3,000 base pairs are clearly resolved into sharp, tight bands. Novex™ DNA Retardation gels are prepared with 0.5X TBE as the gel buffer. This is sufficient for good electrophoretic separation, yet low enough to promote DNA-protein interactions. Novex™ TBE and DNA Retardation Gels are designed to run on the XCell SureLock™ Mini-Cell.

Formulation: Novex™ TBE and DNA Retardation Gels are manufactured with high-purity tris base, boric acid, EDTA, acrylamide, bisacrylamide, TEMED, and APS.

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