This solution will contain meta-bisulfite. Depending on the vendor, your chemical powder may be labeled that way on the bottle to reflect its presence. It's is the right stuff. | This solution will contain meta-bisulfite. Depending on the vendor, your chemical powder may be labeled that way on the bottle to reflect its presence.

We have changed our recipe | We have changed our recipe from the original to make it easier to make and use. Prepare 1.0 M bis-Tris as a "3X". Using thirds helps when making the gel solutions in graduated conical tubes (<i>e.g.</i>, pouring 15 mLs "by eye" to prepare 45 mLs of gel). Having the tank buffer and this gel buffer at pH 6.5 provides a more acidic environment and also more chloride ions than a pH 6.8 mixture, so try to get closer to 6.5, but don't sweat it. | ||
