A handy reference sheet describing properties of antibiotics used in molecular biology.
Polylysine-coated tissue culture surfaces
Polylysine solutions are typically used to coat glassware and plasticware for the attachment and growth of cells.
Carbonate buffer
Carbonate buffers are a combination of a weak acid and its conjugate salt, relying upon series of reverse reactions to buffer changes in pH.
Tris-Buffered Saline (TBS)
Tris-buffered saline (TBS) is isotonic, notoxic buffer used in some biochemical techniques that is maintain the pH within a relatively narrow range.
Acid precipitation solution
Acid precipitation solutions can be used to precipitate nucleic acids.
Making stock acid and base solutions (molarities and specific gravities of concentrated acids and bases)
A useful reference table for making common acid and base stock solutions.
PMSF
PMSF is commonly used in protein solublization in order to deactivate proteases from digesting proteins of interest after cell lysis.
Acrylamide
Acrylamide solution is used for the creation of polyacrylamide gels in gel electrophoresis techniques, such as western blotting.
