Product Overview
AGAROSE TYPE A is a high-purity, molecular biology-grade agarose designed for superior performance in DNA and RNA gel electrophoresis. Engineered with low electroendosmosis (EEO), it ensures sharp, well-resolved bands with minimal background interference. The agarose forms clear, stable gels with excellent mechanical strength, making it ideal for applications requiring high resolution and reproducibility. Its consistent gelation properties allow for precise separation of nucleic acids across a wide range of fragment sizes. The product undergoes rigorous quality control to eliminate contaminants like nucleases, proteases, and other impurities, ensuring reliable results in sensitive molecular biology workflows. Whether used for routine DNA analysis or high-throughput applications, this agarose delivers optimal clarity and resolution, reducing the need for post-staining adjustments. Its compatibility with standard electrophoresis buffers and staining protocols further enhances its versatility in research and diagnostic settings.
FAQs
1. What is the EEO value of AGAROSE TYPE A?
AGAROSE TYPE A has a low EEO value, typically between 0.10-0.13, which minimizes background interference during electrophoresis.
2. Can this agarose be used for pulsed-field gel electrophoresis?
While optimized for standard gel electrophoresis, AGAROSE TYPE A can be used for pulsed-field applications, though specialized agarose may offer better performance for large DNA fragments.
3. How should AGAROSE TYPE A be stored for long-term use?
Store the unopened container at room temperature (15-30°C) in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and moisture.
4. Is this agarose compatible with ethidium bromide staining?
Yes, AGAROSE TYPE A is fully compatible with ethidium bromide and other common nucleic acid stains like SYBR Safe or GelRed.
5. What is the gel strength of this agarose compared to standard agarose?
AGAROSE TYPE A offers higher gel strength (typically >1200 g/cm² at 1% concentration) than standard agarose, ensuring durability during handling and imaging.
