Low Melt Agarose (low melting point) recommended for the separation of fragments ≥1 000 bp in analytical electrophoresis. The low melting temperature (65°C) allows the agarose to melt without damaging the DNA double helix. The presence of DNase and RNase is not detected.
Characteristics
- Less gel strength than standard agaroses. Gels can nevertheless be easily handled.
- Lower gelling/melting temperatures than standard agarose.
- Greater clarity (gel transparency) than gels prepared with standard agarose.
- Increased screening capacity.
