Agarose D-5 is characterized by its high gel strength (≥ 1,800 g/cm² at 1.5%) and high gelation temperature, which provides superior thermal stability and mechanical resistance. It is highly purified to ensure a low electroendosmosis (EEO) value, allowing for the precise migration of nucleic acids with minimal band distortion. This agarose is specifically processed to be free of detectable DNase and RNase activity, ensuring the integrity of sensitive genetic samples during long electrophoresis runs. Its high transparency makes it ideal for clear visualization and documentation of results.
Advantages
- Exceptional Gel Strength: Allows for the easy handling of low-concentration gels and provides the durability needed for long-duration PFGE runs.
- Optimized for Large Fragments: Excellent for the separation of DNA molecules larger than 20 kb and up to several megabases.
- High Purity: Low EEO ensures high electrophoretic mobility and sharp, well-defined bands.
- Multi-functional: Beyond electrophoresis, its physical properties make it an ideal matrix for creating affinity chromatography beads or for immobilizing enzymes.
- Clarity and Contrast: Provides a high degree of transparency, facilitating the detection of even low-intensity bands after staining.
