Hi Gel Strength Electrophoresis Agarose  (AG-MS12)

This molecular screening electrophoresis agarose is designed to have a larger gel network than our Hi-RES Super electrophoresis agarose (AG-MS8) and is recommended for the separation of DNA fragments smaller than 1500 bp. Gels made with AG-MS12 have higher gel strength than competitive products. The gels ARE exceptionally firm but still flexible when handled, minimizing the danger of cracking or breaking. ag-MS-12 has the same melting and gelling temperature as regular agaroses, allowing faster and easier preparation of gels. AG-MS-12 also gives excellent resolution at concentrations of  ≤1 %. This agarose is recommended for all analytical applications, especially when DNA is recovered for subsequent use in enzymatic procedures.

Functional Tests

• DNA resolution: bands appear sharp and finely resolved.
• DNAse/RNAse activity: none detected.
• Gel background: very low after Et.Br. staining.
• Blotting: very good transference for DNA fragments 154 – 2176 bp in 4 % gels.
• DNA binding: very low
