TBE can be diluted to 1X prior to use in electrophoresis, 0.5x is acceptable as well. Higher concentrations will result in poor results due to excessive heat generation.
74:, the role of the EDTA is to protect the nucleic acids against enzymatic degradation. But since Mg is also a co-factor for many useful DNA-modifying enzymes such as 203: 58:-acid solutions are effective buffers for slightly basic conditions, which keep DNA deprotonated and soluble in water.

More recently discovered substitutes for TBE and TAE buffers for electrophoresis are available.
