IBI Low Melting Point Agarose is designed for preparative DNA and RNA electrophoresis, cloning of tissue culture cells and viral plague assays, and fragment recovery following electrophoresis. The lower gelling point and melting point when compared to Low EEO and Basic Agaroses allow quick and thorough digestion during extraction procedures and easy in-gel manipulations.
IBI Low Melting Point Agarose is derived by organic synthesis, which generates methoxylate groups from the basic agarose structure. This produces the lower melting and gelling temperatures when compared to standard agarose. The lower gelling temperature ensures the agarose will be in a liquid state at a temperature range where in-gel manipulations can be performed without prior extraction of the DNA or RNA from the gel slice.
Combining IBI Low Melting Point Agarose with our PCR/Gel extraction kits provides an economical and high performance nucleic acid recovery system for when you have critical DNA molecules to recover after electrophoresis. Our PCR/Gel extraction kits can perform PCR Clean-up, as well as Gel extraction.
