Merck, 11685660001, 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.
Application
Agarose LE has been used for:

analyzing fragments between 0.2 and 15 kb
analysis of PCR products
examination of restriction endonucleases
digests of plasmid, cosmid, and λ phage DNA
electrophoresis of RNA in, e.g., denaturing gels containing formaldehyde
in combination with ethidium bromide in DNA electrophoresis to facilitate the separation and visualization of DNA fragments.
Nucleic 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.
Analysis Note
Absence of DNase: none detected according to the current Quality Control procedures.
Absence of RNase: none detected according to the current Quality Control procedures.
Other Notes
For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
