Agarose is a natural polysaccharide extracted from seaweed, widely used in molecular biology for gel electrophoresis to separate DNA and RNA fragments by size. This high-purity, low-electroendosmosis agarose is ideal for analytical and preparative applications, ensuring clear, sharp bands and efficient nucleic acid recovery. Available in various gelling strengths (e.g., 1%, 1.5%, 2%) for different fragment sizes. Non-hazardous, stable at ambient temperatures, and free from DNases/RNases. Molekula supplies Agarose from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
