Agarose, low gelling temperature

Description

Agarose is an algal polysaccharide. Agarose is a thermoreversible, ion-dependent gelling agent. Agarose gel electrophoresis is useful for the clinical routine analyses of proteins in plasma and other body fluids. It is a low gelling temperature derivative with unique gelling properties. Gels forms at <30°C, remelt at temperatures in excess of 60°C. Gels exhibit excellent clarity and are particularly useful for the preparation of media containing heat-labile materials.
