TE

Purpose
TE buffer is often used to store DNA and RNA.
 * EDTA in TE chelates Mg2+ and other divalent metals ions necessary for most causes of DNA and RNA degradation, suppressing these processes.
 * Tris is a buffering agent to keep the solution at a defined pH.

Recipe 1x TE
→ 1x TE is 10 mM Tris-HCl and 1 mM EDTA
