Thermo Scientific™ Phenol Water-Saturated Solution is a high-purity, ready-to-use phenol/Tris-based reagent formulated specifically for molecular biology workflows. This stabilized solution is saturated with water and adjusted with Tris (hydroxymethyl)aminomethane to maintain a pH favorable for DNA extraction and purification, eliminating the need for pH titration prior to use.
Free from detectable DNase, RNase, and Protease activity, and stabilized with 0.08–0.12% hydroxyquinoline, this solution ensures sample integrity during nucleic acid isolation. It is suitable for manual or automated DNA purification workflows in research and forensic laboratories.
Key Features
- Molecular biology grade: free from DNase, RNase, and protease contamination
- Stabilized formulation: contains hydroxyquinoline (0.08–0.12%) to prevent oxidation
- Water-saturated: 25–35% water content for efficient phase separation
- pH-adjusted with Tris: no titration needed prior to use
- Color-coded: yellow to orange appearance
- Iron (Fe): ≤1 ppm
- Heavy metals (as Pb): ≤5 ppm
Applications
- DNA isolation and purification from tissues, cells, or biological fluids
- Phenol-chloroform extraction methods for molecular diagnostics
- Use in forensic DNA workflows and molecular biology sample prep
- Preparation of RNA-free DNA for downstream applications
- Phase separation of aqueous and organic fractions during nucleic acid extractions
