FAQ-199
What is the composition of Buffer EB?
The composition of Buffer EB is:
- 10 mM Tris-Cl, pH 8.5
Buffer EB is the elution buffer used in the QIAquick PCR, Gel Extraction, Nucleotide Removal Kits, and MinElute Kits for DNA cleanup, and the QIAprep Miniprep Kits for small-scale plasmid purification. The purified DNA can also be eluted in TE (10 mM Tris-Cl, 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0), but the EDTA may inhibit subsequent enzymatic reactions.

QIAquick PCR Purification Kit
The QIAquick PCR Purification Kit provides spin columns, buffers, and collection tubes for silica-membrane-based purification of PCR products >100 bp. DNA of up to 10 kb is purified using a simple and fast bind-wash-elute procedure and an elution volume of 30–50 μl. An optional pH indicator allows easy determination of the optimal pH for DNA binding to the spin column. The procedure can be fully automated on the QIAcube Connect.
For optimal results it is recommended to use this product together with QIAvac 24 Plus.
QIAquick PCR Purification standard protocols can also be executed using the TRACKMAN Connected system, paired with PIPETMAN M Connected pipettes, both from Gilson. The TRACKMAN Connected system guides researchers through the QIAquick PCR Purification protocols while automatically adjusting the Bluetooth-enabled PIPETMAN M Connected pipette settings. Each step of the protocol execution is recorded to accelerate reporting by generating a comprehensive run report. Download more information.
