Buffer ATL is a proprietary chemical used for DNA extraction and purification. It's used to induce lysis of cell tissues in order to release and expose the cell's DNA during the beginning stages of of the extraction process. I think the letters "ATL" stand for "Animal Tissue Lysis." It's part of the DNeasy protocol from Qiagen. I use this every day during my extraction and purification of DNA from various snake species.

What is the most important buffer in extracellular fluids?

The bicarbonate buffer system is the most important buffer in extracellular fluids, including blood. It helps maintain the pH level of the body within a narrow range by regulating the levels of bicarbonate ions and carbonic acid.


What is the recommended transfer buffer for a Western blot recipe?

The recommended transfer buffer for a Western blot recipe is typically a mixture of Tris-glycine buffer with methanol. This buffer helps to transfer proteins from the gel to the membrane effectively during the blotting process.


What are the differences between using mops and MES buffer for a biochemical assay?

Using mops buffer provides a stable pH environment for biochemical assays, while MES buffer is better at maintaining a consistent pH in the presence of oxygen. MES buffer is also less likely to interfere with enzyme activity compared to mops buffer.


What is the recommended running buffer recipe for a Western blot procedure?

The recommended running buffer recipe for a Western blot procedure typically consists of Tris-glycine buffer with SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) added to it. This buffer helps to separate proteins based on their size during electrophoresis.


What is obb buffer in mrna extracton?

The term "OBB buffer" typically refers to an optimized binding buffer used in mRNA extraction protocols. This buffer is designed to efficiently bind and capture mRNA molecules during the extraction process, enabling their isolation from the rest of the sample components. OBB buffer helps to enhance the yield and purity of mRNA obtained for downstream applications such as gene expression analysis.
