| Application: | Saline-sodium citrate (SSC) Buffer has been used as a washing buffer in microarray technique. It has also been used as a constituent of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) buffer. |
| Application: | Suitable for: • Preparing nucleic acids for hybridization • Hybridization buffer for Northern and Southern blots • Washing buffer for Northern and Southern blots |
| Features and Benefits: | • Multi-purpose use in hybridizations • Easily reconstituted and diluted to any concentration needed |
| General description: | SSC Buffer 20x Powder is a standard reagent in Southern and Northern blotting procedures. This concentrated powder should be reconstituted in molecular biology grade water to the indicated final volume before use (final solution is a 20x). The 20x concentrate can be used straight or diluted to make SSC working solutions with concentrations as low as 0.5x. |
| Preparation Note: | Final SSC Buffer 20x Concentrate contains 0.3 M sodium citrate in 3M NaCl. |
