FAQ-416
What is the composition of buffer TE?
The composition of Buffer TE is:
- 10 mM Tris·Cl, pH 8.0
- 1 mM EDTA
Buffer TE is a commonly used DNA resuspension and storage buffer. It is supplied in QIAGEN's Endofree Plasmid Kits, and used for plasmid DNA resuspension in combination with other QIAGEN Plasmid Kits. Details on buffer preparation and storage are presented in Appendix B of the QIAGEN Plasmid Purification Handbook.

HiSpeed Plasmid Kits
HiSpeed Plasmid Kits provide fast, large-scale, anion-exchange-based plasmid DNA preparation without centrifugation. The purified DNA is equivalent to that obtained by 2 x CsCl gradient centrifugation and is suitable for transfection-grade applications.
EndoFree Plasmid Kits
EndoFree Plasmid Kits provide anion-exchange-based endotoxin-free plasmid DNA purification. QIAfilter Cartridges enable fast lysate clearing by filtration. The purified DNA exceeds the purity obtained by 2 x CsCl gradient centrifugation and is suitable for advanced transfection-grade applications. The EndoFree Plasmid Buffer Set can be used for preparations of 10 mega or 5 giga transfection-grade plasmid or cosmid DNA preparations.
The Buffer ER in EndoFree Plasmid Kits has been updated to exclude Triton™ X-114, ensuring REACH compliance and even lower endotoxin levels (<0.04 EU/μg) in line with FDA vaccine standards. The improved buffer reduces incubation time from 30 minutes on ice to just 5 minutes at room temperature.*
*Please note: This update includes adjusted Buffer ER volumes and revised incubation times in the protocol.
