Novex™ TBE gels provide the highest possible resolution for analysis of restriction enzyme and PCR products. DNA fragments ranging from 10 to 3,000 base pairs are clearly separated into distinct, tight bands. Novex™ DNA retardation gels are made from 0.5X TBE (as gel buffer) polyacrylamide. This is sufficient to achieve good electrophoretic separation, yet low enough to promote DNA-protein interactions. Novex™ TBE and DNA blocking gels are suitable for use on the XCell SureLock™ Mini-Cell electrophoresis system.

Formulation: Novex™ TBE and DNA blocking gels are made from high purity Tris base, boric acid, EDTA, acrylamide, bisacrylamide, TEMED and APS.

Recommended Buffers: For optimal performance, Novex™ TBE Running Buffer and Novex™ High Density TBE Sample Buffer are highly recommended for use with these gels. Novex™ High Density TBE Sample Buffer contains the density agent Ficoll™ (which produces more distinct and straighter bands than conventional density agents) and the tracking dyes bromophenol blue and xylene cyanine.
