Agarose CAS#9012-36-6
Agarose is the neutral polymer component of agar. Agar belongs to the group of galactopolysaccharides, which are the intracellular matrix of red algae/seaweeds of the Rhodophyta (red algae phylum). Agar is naturally slightly sulphated and is a complex mixture of polysaccharides. Agarose forms a solution when heated and condenses into a gel when cooled. Gel formation is due to the formation of a double helix of molecular chains, which creates a water-fixing network. Agarose is commonly used for the analysis of nucleic acids by gel electrophoresis or blotting (Northern or Southern), and is also suitable for protein analyses such as Ouchterlony and Radial Immunodiffusion (RID). Ethidium bromide and SYBR Green background staining is low.

Product Application Of Agarose CAS#9012-36-6
Ideal for the separation of small DNA fragments (e.g., PCR products) differing in size by as little as 2% and compares to the resolution of DNA in polyacrylamide gels. High resolution agarose is also ideal for resolving amplification fragment length polymorphisms (AmpFLP), short tandem repeats (STR) and tri- and tetranucleotide repeats.
Low ethidium bromide and SYBR Green background staining
