MP Biomedicals™ Tricine

Description

Tricine is for use in electrophoresis buffers.

• Tricine is used as buffer component for separation of low molecular weight peptides.
• Tricine can be used in cryopreservation medium for the preservation of tissues and organs.
• Cryopreservation depends on the physical and chemical characteristics of the preservation medium used.
• The pH values and pK values for tricine/DMSO mixtures has been reported down to -20°C.
• Tricine has been found to be an efficient scavenger of hydroxyl radicals in a study of radiation-induced membrane damage.
• Tricine is typically the buffer of choice in SDS-PAGE systems when separating proteins in the range of 1 to 100 kDa.

A buffer may be prepared by titrating with sodium hydroxide to the desired pH, using about a half-equivalent of NaOH.
