Buffers - Good's Buffers - MES
Boston Bioproducts - MES Buffer for Biological and Biochemical Research (1 M, pH 6.5)
MES Buffer, or 2-(N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid, serves as a zwitterionic Good's buffer, widely employed in the domains of biological and biochemical research due to its capability to maintain a stable pH between 5.5 and 7.0. This chemical demonstrates high solubility in water, making it highly effective as a running buffer in bis-tris gel electrophoresis, chromatography applications, and protein purification processes. Its role is also crucial in enzymatic reactions and as a non-coordinating buffer within metal ion chemistry. Moreover, its low UV absorbance and robust stability across various settings enhance its utility in the lab. The buffer is available in several sizes, addressing specific needs for diverse research applications.
Reagents
Boston Bioproducts - Orange-G/Blue Loading Dye (6X) for Gel Electrophoresis
The Orange-G/Blue Loading Dye by Boston BioProducts is an essential tool for molecular biology research, particularly in DNA analysis using gel electrophoresis. This solution contains a blend of dyes that include Orange G, bromophenol blue, and xylene cyanol. Each dye migrates at distinct rates during electrophoresis, offering a clear visual indication of the molecular separation progress. The loading dye facilitates the application of DNA samples into gel wells and allows researchers to track nucleic acid migration, thus aiding in the estimation of DNA fragment sizes. Available in multiple sizes such as 10ml and 25ml, this product is tailored for various experimental scales. It is vital for researchers to select the appropriate size before ordering. Additionally, Boston BioProducts offers custom reagent solutions for specific research needs.
Culture Media
Boston Bioproducts - Terrific Broth
Terrific Broth is a nutrient-rich medium capable of supporting the growth of the recombinant E. coli , and similar bacterial strains. It contains yeast extract, tryptone, sodium phosphate, potassium nitrate, and glycerol, providing the necessary nutrients for rapid cell growth. Terrific Broth is often used to grow cells that have undergone transformations, yielding substantial production of DNA plasmids and thus equivalent production of recombinant proteins.
Water
Boston Bioproducts - Reverse Osmosis Deionized (RODI) Water
Reverse Osmosis Deionized (RODI) Water is a critical component in various scientific applications where water purity is of importance. This type of water is processed to remove ionic contaminants through a combination of reverse osmosis and deionization. The result is water that is free from dissolved minerals, salts, and organic compounds, making it ideal for use in sensitive experiments and procedures such as chromatography, spectrophotometry, and culturing of cell lines.
