Description

General description

Agarose is obtained from seaweed and contains repeated agarobiose units. During agarose gel formation, the polymers aggregate to form a network with varying pore sizes. This property is used in agarose gel electrophoresis to separate DNA.

Application

• Agarose LE  is especially suited  for analyzing fragments between 0.2 and 15 kb in: Analysis of PCR products
• Examination of restriction endonucleases
• Digests of plasmid, cosmid, and λ phage DNA
• Electrophoresis of RNA in, e.g., denaturing gels containing formaldehyde

Nucleic acid fragments separated with Agarose LE can be blotted to nylon or nitro-cellulose membranes by all standard blotting techniques.
Important Note: Detection with nonradioactive probes e.g., digoxigenin-labeled nucleic acids, does not interfere with the use of Agarose LE.

Packaging
