TAE buffer is a buffer solution containing a mixture of Tris base, acetic acid and EDTA.
In molecular biology, it is used in agarose electrophoresis typically for the separation of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA.[1] It is made up of Tris-acetate buffer, usually at pH 8.3, and EDTA, which sequesters divalent cations. TAE has a lower buffer capacity than TBE and can easily become exhausted, but linear, double stranded DNA runs faster in TAE.
Previously, Brody & Kern simplified electrophoretic buffers by substituting TBE and TAE buffers for a more efficient and inexpensive conductive media in gel systems.[2]
Uses
TAE (Tris-acetate-EDTA) buffer is used as both a running buffer and in agarose gels.[3] Its use in denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis methods for broad-range mutation analysis has also been described.[4] TAE has been used at various concentrations to study the mobility of DNA in solution with and without sodium chloride.[5] However, high concentrations of sodium chloride (and many other salts) in a DNA sample retard its mobility. This may lead to incorrect interpretations of the resulting DNA banding pattern.
Preparation
TAE buffer is commonly prepared as a 50× stock solution for laboratory use. A 50× stock solution can be prepared by dissolving 242 g Tris base in water, adding 57.1 ml glacial acetic acid, and 100 ml of 500 mM EDTA (pH 8.0) solution, and bringing the final volume up to 1 litre. This stock solution can be diluted 49:1 with water to make a 1× working solution. This 1× solution will contain 40 mM Tris, 20 mM acetic acid, and 1 mM EDTA.
No. | Name | Per 1 mole | 50x solution | 50× | 1× solution | 1X |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Tris base | 121.1 g/L | 2 M | 242.2 g/L | 40 mM | 4.844 g/L |
2 | acetic acid | 57.1 ml/L | 1 M | 57.1 ml/L | 20 mM | 1.21 ml/L |
3 | EDTA disodium salt dihydrate | 372.24 g/L | 50 mM | 18.612 g/L | 1 mM | 0.372 g/L |
2 M = 2000 mM so 2000 mM /50 = 40 mM for 1×.
1M = 1000 mM so 1000 mM /50 = 20 mM for 1×.
50 mM /50 = 1 mM for 1×.
First of all, these ingredients should be dissolved in 500 ml, then made up to 1000 ml.
Note: EDTA will take more time to dissolve, so while dissolving EDTA use magnetic stirrer (few amounts of EDTA in 3 or 4 times).
A step-by-step recipe of the preparation method for 50× TAE buffer is available on protocols.io.[6]
