Which electrophoresis buffer cation produces more EEO ?

We know about the amount of impurities in agarose like sulfate content increase elelctroendosmosis. Is it known that different buffers used can influence the phenominon of EEO due to different...

What is the role of EDTA in TAE & TBE buffers used in molecular genetics; Tris with either Boric acid or Acetic acid can be buffers by them selves ?

Unlike all buffer components, EDTA is tetravalent and has four pK values. Hence it conducts more electric current producing more heat. Since generations they are there in text books and so no...

Francisco Navarrete-Mier

Hi, I am also having troubles with this, and I have been reading about it. Until I understand if you will use Tris buffer you cannot use any AG/AgCl electrodes. I have found that "calomel" electrodes are some option, but also could be an option a DoubleJunction electrodes. In term of brands (avoiding endorse any), ThermoScientific has the ROSS electrodes that could be used with Tris: https://assets.thermofisher.com/TFS-Assets/LED/manuals/UM-263745-001-B-ROSS-Ultra-EN.pdf

Thanks, Francisco. There is widespread ignorance about this phenomenon in the scientists. Do you have any idea why it is so ?
