Application

Agarose LE is especially suited for analyzing fragments between 0.2 and 15 kb in: Analysis of PCR productsExamination of restriction endonucleasesDigests of plasmid, cosmid, and λ phage DNAElectrophoresis of RNA in, e.g., denaturing gels containing formaldehydeNucleic acid fragments separated with Agarose LE can be blotted to nylon or nitro-cellulose membranes by all standard blotting techniques.Important Note: Detection with nonradioactive probes e.g., digoxigenin-labeled nucleic acids, does not interfere with the use of Agarose LE.

General description

Agarose is obtained from seaweed and contains repeated agarobiose units. During agarose gel formation, the polymers aggregate to form a network with varying pore sizes. This property is used in agarose gel electrophoresis to separate DNA.
