Product Overview
Boric acid, 99.5% purity, is a high-grade reagent specifically formulated for molecular biology applications. This product is rigorously tested to ensure it is free from DNase, RNase, and protease contaminants, making it suitable for sensitive procedures such as nucleic acid extraction, gel electrophoresis, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The fine, crystalline powder dissolves easily in aqueous solutions, providing consistent and reproducible results in laboratory protocols. Its low ionic interference and high solubility further enhance its utility in buffer preparation and other biochemical assays. The molecular biology grade ensures minimal background noise, which is critical for experiments requiring high precision. This boric acid variant is also compatible with standard lab equipment and can be stored under ambient conditions, provided it is kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. The absence of enzymatic contaminants guarantees the integrity of nucleic acids and proteins during experimental workflows.
FAQs
1.
Is this boric acid suitable for gel electrophoresis?
It is specifically designed for molecular biology applications, including gel electrophoresis, due to its high purity and lack of enzymatic contaminants. 2.
Can it be used in PCR buffers?
Yes, its 99.5% purity and absence of DNase/RNase make it ideal for PCR buffer preparation. 3.
What is the shelf life of this product?
When stored in a cool, dry place in a sealed container, it remains stable for up to 3 years. 4.
Does it require special storage conditions?
Store at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight, in an airtight container. 5.
Are there any alternatives for lower-cost applications?
For non-molecular biology uses, standard-grade boric acid may be considered, but it lacks the purity guarantees of this product.
