Overview

This product is composed of Na₂HPO₄, NaH₂PO₄, KCl, and MgSO₄. It is a buffer at pH 7.0 and has been filter-sterilized. It can be used to prepare Z buffer/X-gal solution for detecting the LacZ reporter gene in the nuclear system AH109 yeast two-hybrid and the membrane system NMY51 yeast two-hybrid.

Z buffer provides a buffering environment for yeast X-gal chromogenic experiments, making yeast colonies develop clearer and more persistent color.

Instructions for Use (using a 5 mL system as an example):

Add 13.5 μL of 2-mercaptoethanol (Aladdin Catalog No.: M755744) and 83.5 μL of X-Gal solution (20 mg/mL) (Aladdin Catalog No.: X1520260) to 5 mL of Z buffer. The preparation can be scaled up proportionally according to the required amount.

Precautions:
