Agarose (electrophoresis grade)

Description: NZYTech’s electrophoresis grade agarose is a Molecular Biology Grade type of agarose suitable for the daily needs of DNA electrophoretic analysis. Presents high purity for preparative and analytical electrophoresis of nucleic acids >100 bp. Forms a solid gel at low concentration.

Features:
- Extraordinary mechanical resistance for reliable and easier handling
- Possibility of varying pore size in accordance with particle size by modifying the gel concentration
- Easy dilution in an appropriate buffer by standard boiling or microwaving
- Greater thermal stability due to high hysteresis (difference between gelling and melting temperatures)
- Excelent transparency of the gel and high visibility
- Exceptional low absorption of staining agents
- Absence of toxicity (the alternative polyacrylamide is toxic)

Applications:
– High electrophoresis mobility
- Nucleic acid analytical and preparative electrophoresis
- Blotting assays
- Protein electrophoresis such as radial immunodifusion
