Adding a recipe

A recipe page lets someone make the solution without asking anyone. Read Editing the wiki first for GitHub steps and general rules.

Save as src/content/docs/recipes/<recipe-name>.md. A page can hold several related recipes, each in a ## section.

title: "Electrophoresis Buffers"
---
## Contents
1. [10x TBE](#1-10x-tbe)
2. [50x TAE](#2-50x-tae)
3. [10x SDS running buffer](#3-10x-sds-running-buffer)
## 1. 10x TBE
| Component | Amount (1 L) | Final concentration |
|---|---|---|
| Tris base | 108 g | 890 mM |
| Boric acid | 55 g | 890 mM |
| 0.5 M EDTA, pH 8.0 | 40 mL | 20 mM |
1. Dissolve in 800 mL water.
2. Bring to 1 L. Do not adjust the pH.
3. Store at room temperature.
**Storage:** room temperature, 6 months. Discard if a precipitate forms.
  1. One table per recipe: component, amount for the stated volume, final concentration.
  2. Put the batch volume in the amount column header.
  3. Number the preparation steps: dissolve, adjust pH, bring to volume, filter or autoclave.
  4. State storage temperature and shelf life.
  5. List hazards (acrylamide, phenol, piranha, azide) in a :::danger box above the table.
  6. Link to the recipe from protocols that use it instead of repeating it.
  7. LLM assistants: never calculate a missing amount or concentration. Leave the cell empty or write TODO.
