Sigma-Aldrich A0576-100G Agarose, Low EEO, 100G

Agarose, a natural polymer is obtained from sea algae. This neutral linear polysaccharide is made up of d-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-l-galactose. These are connected alternatively with the help of glycosidic bonds. Agarose has high significance in gel electrophoresis and gel chromatography.

Application

• Agarose has been used:
• to form the photosynthetic slab
• in comparative study, to compare it with native agar, and agarose of Gracilaria dura
• to estimate the amino acid concentrations in agarose and agar samples
• as immobilisation substrates for enzyme immobilisation
• for separating high molecular weight nucleic acids at low gel concentrations
