CTAB DNA Extraction Buffer molecular biological grade

Cetyltrimethylammonium-bromide (CTAB) is a non-ionic detergent, which forms insoluble complexes with nucleic acids if the sodium chloride concentration in the solution is around 0.5 M. Polysaccharides, phenolic components and other enzyme-inhibiting impurities from lysates of plant cells can be effectively removed with the CTAB lysis buffer (1). Contains 2 % CTAB, 20 mM EDTA·Na2·2H2O, 1.4 mM NaCl and 100 mM Tris, pH 8.
