Nucleic Acid Storage: Long-term storage of DNA and RNA at pH 8.0; EDTA chelates divalent cations to inhibit nucleases.

Nucleic Acid Resuspension: Rehydration and resuspension of purified plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, and RNA after precipitation or column elution.

PCR/qPCR Template Dilution: Stable dilution of DNA/RNA templates for PCR and qPCR while protecting against DNase/RNase activity.

Sequencing Sample Preparation: Resuspension and dilution of DNA for Sanger and NGS library inputs to maintain integrity and consistent pH.

Cloning Workflows: Safe storage of PCR amplicons and plasmids prior to ligation, transformation, or Gibson assembly (not as reaction buffer).

Oligonucleotide Handling: Reconstitution and storage of primers and probes to preserve stability and activity.

Plasmid Prep Elution Buffer: Elution and stock storage of miniprep/midiprep DNA from spin columns.

Colony PCR and Screening: Suspension of bacterial colony material (e.g., Escherichia coli) and stabilization of released DNA for PCR screening.

gDNA/cDNA Libraries: Storage and dilution of cDNA and gDNA libraries prior to quantification and downstream assays.

Sample Transport: Short-term transport of DNA/RNA between labs while minimizing nuclease-mediated degradation.
