Description: This is a biotechnology grade, standard gelling temperature agarose. This agarose is most commonly found in research laboratories and it is useful for many protocols in molecular biology, especially for separation of bands larger than 500bp. Other applications include: analytical and preparatory electrophoresis of DNA/RNA, Northern and Southern blotting, PCR analysis and immuno assays. Each batch of agarose is functionally tested in molecular biology applications. Unlike other agaroses, this agarose will not boil out of the container.
