Description
ROTIPHORESE® 5x TBE Buffer is a 5x concentrated buffer concentrate intended for electrophoresis workflows, including horizontal agarose gel electrophoresis and preparation of agarose gels. This TBE buffer format from manufacturer Carl ROTH enables convenient dilution to working strength for routine gel electrophoresis applications. The 5x concentrate reduces storage volume while supporting consistent buffer preparation across laboratory gel runs. Facilities performing agarose electrophoresis can dilute the concentrate as required for tank and gel buffer systems. Documented density and boiling point values assist laboratory documentation and process control. The glass packaging protects the concentrate during storage and handling on the bench. ROTIPHORESE® 5x TBE Buffer fits standard horizontal electrophoresis setups where a ready TBE buffer concentrate is specified for agarose gel work in research and quality-control laboratories.
This article belongs on Biological buffers (Tris, HEPES, MOPS), in Buffers & pH solutions.

Questions about ROTIPHORESE® 5x TBE Buffer, 5x conc. buffer concentrate, 1 l, glass
What is this article?
ROTIPHORESE® 5x TBE Buffer, 5x conc. buffer concentrate, 1 l, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Biological buffers (Tris, HEPES, MOPS), inside Buffers & pH solutions, in Lab chemicals.
Tris, HEPES, MOPS and their relatives hold pH in a range that cells and proteins tolerate, with a pKa near the working pH. The useful range is roughly one unit either side of the pKa. A phosphate buffer and Tris are not interchangeable in a method that names one of them, because the ion itself has effects.
A buffer resists a change in pH when a little acid or base is added. It does that because a weak acid and its conjugate base are both present. A pH buffer used to calibrate a meter has a stated value at a stated temperature. A biological buffer such as Tris or HEPES is chosen because it holds the pH of a living system and does not poison it. Conductivity standards are the sister articles for a conductivity meter. The ions are on PubChem. Electrode calibration practice sits with EURAMET and BELAC.
