General description
Tris, borate, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic (TBE) buffer is routinely used to conduct DNA and RNA agarose gel electrophoresis. It comprises a weak acid in neutral and anionic forms (e.g., COOH and COO- species) and a weak base, Tris, which is either in neutral or cationic forms (Tris-NH2 and Tris-NH3+). These ions buffer the pH, maintain a low conductivity medium, and transfer the electrical current. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic (EDTA) is used to chelate Mg2+ ions and inactivate the potential DNA nucleases. TBE is also used to perform a good resolution of DNA fragments that slightly enhances the separation of smaller fragments. It also protects nucleic acids from enzymatic degradation.

Agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA and RNA is routinely performed using buffers containing either Tris, acetate, and EDTA (TAE) or Tris, borate, and EDTA (TBE). Gels are run at a low, constant voltage (∼10 V/cm) to minimize current and asymmetric
