Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to make Tris-acetate running buffer for SDS-PAGE ?

I use this http://products.invi...=Search-Product

But I wanted to make it myself. Anyone do this?

Thanks, J

Here's the recipe (see here):

NuPAGE® Tris-Acetate SDS Running Buffer
The NuPAGE® Tris-Acetate SDS Running Buffer (20X) is available from Invitrogen

50 mM Tricine
50 mM Tris base
0.1% SDS
pH 8.24

   1. To prepare 500 ml of 20 X NuPAGE® Tris-Acetate SDS Running Buffer, dissolve the following reagents to 400 ml ultrapure water:
      Tricine                                               89.5 g
      Tris Base                                             60.6 g
      SDS                                                   10.0 g
   2. Mix well and adjust the volume to 500 ml with ultrapure water.
   3. Store at +4° C. The buffer is stable for 6 months when stored at +4° C.
   4. For electrophoresis, dilute this buffer to 1X with water. The pH of the 1X solution is 8.24. Do not use acid or base to adjust the pH.
