Tris-EDTA Buffer Solutions

Our Tris-EDTA buffer solutions are formulated for molecular biology workflows that require stable buffering and nucleic acid protection. Commonly referred to as TE buffer, Tris-EDTA solutions combine Tris for pH stabilization with EDTA for chelation of divalent metal ions that can degrade nucleic acids. Our catalog also includes TAE, TBE, and DNA suspension buffer solutions.

What are Tris-EDTA buffer solutions?

Tris-EDTA buffer solutions are widely used in molecular biology for the storage, handling, and preparation of DNA and RNA samples. TE buffer combines Tris, which maintains a stable pH, with EDTA, which chelates divalent cations such as magnesium and calcium required for nuclease activity.

 

Because of their protective properties, Tris-EDTA buffer solutions are commonly used for long-term nucleic acid storage, DNA resuspension, PCR workflows, cloning applications, and agarose or polyacrylamide electrophoresis. These formulations help preserve nucleic acid integrity and improve reproducibility across downstream molecular biology applications.

Why choose Teknova’s Tris-EDTA buffer solutions?

Our catalog of Tris-EDTA buffer solutions is supplied as ready-to-use formulations, eliminating in-house buffer preparation and reducing variability across molecular biology workflows. Each formulation is manufactured to precise specifications to ensure consistent buffering capacity and reliable nucleic acid protection.


Our TE, DNA suspension, Tris-Borate-EDTA (TBE), and Tris-acetate-EDTA (TAE) buffers are designed to integrate seamlessly into routine laboratory operations, from DNA storage and PCR workflows to cloning and analytical applications. All products are manufactured under rigorous quality control standards to ensure pH accuracy, purity, and lot-to-lot consistency. We also support custom Tris-EDTA buffer solutions, including modified concentrations, pHs, and alternative container formats to meet specialized research or manufacturing requirements.
