Agarose, low-melting is a purified polysaccharide derived from red seaweed, used primarily in molecular biology for gel electrophoresis of nucleic acids and protein separation. It melts at lower temperatures than standard agarose, enabling gentle handling of heat-sensitive biomolecules. Available in powder form, it is stable at ambient storage conditions. CAS: 9012-36-6. Molekula supplies Agarose, low-melting from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
