Agarose (Low EEO) (ES1021)

GS-Agarose is a neutral polysaccharide extracted from certain seaweeds. The molecular structure of this polysaccharide gives the capacity to form gels that are very strong even at low concentrations. Agarose is the most popular medium for electrophoresis. GS-Agarose are reliably high quality products to meet your demand.

Features:
1. Easy preparation of gel by standard boiling or microwaving
2. High gel strength make it easy to handle gel without fracturing even at lower concentration
3. Low EEO reduces disruption of DNA separation. Electroendosmosis ( EEO) is one of the most important characteristics of agarose. Anionic group in agarose gel are affixed to the matrix and can not move, but dissociable counter cations can migrate towards the cathode in the matrix, giving rise to EEO, EEO can disrupt separations of DNA because of internal convection. The lower EEO, the faster DNA will migrate, additionally, lower EEO helps to improve the resolution of DNA and RNA as their migration is determined only by their size, not by their charge
4. Low background during fluorescent staining
5. No detectable nuclease and protease
