Description
- Agarose is a natural polysaccharide isolated from agar or agar-bearing marine algae.
- Its physical and chemical properties are particularly suited for use as a gel medium for diffusion and electrokinetic movement of biomolecules.
- Agarose is essentially biologically inert and forms relatively clear, transparent gels.
- Agarose based gels offer several advantages: High gel strength permits use of low concentrations.
- The macroporous nature of the gels allows rapid diffusion of high molecular weight molecules. Agarose is Non-toxic.
- Agarose gels are thermally reversible facilitating sample recovery.
- Staining and destaining may be done rapidly with minimal background.
- Because agarose forms macroporous gels that are electrically nonionic, it is an excellent medium for Isoelectric Focusing (IEF).
- A selection of different formulated agaroses with specific qualities for unique applications are available from MP.
