Features & Benefits
- Labeling Claims
- Features
- Extraordinary mechanical resistance for more reliable and easier handling.
- Possibility of varying pore size in accordance with particle size by modifying the gel concentration.
- Easy preparation of the gel by simple dissolution in aqueous buffers either by standard boiling or microwaving.
- Greater thermal stability due to high hysteresis (difference between gelling and melting temperatures).
- Excellent transparency of the gels.
- Excellent elasticity and flexibility of the gels.
- Great capacity for derivatization and cross-linking, which allows coupling of enzymes, antigens and other substances to the gel structure.
- Exceptionally low absorption of staining agents.
- Absence of toxicity.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- D-2 LE.LV: with very low viscosity.
Preparation of agarose beads, especially at very high concentrations.
