Specialty Agarose

Benchmark's Specialty Agarose - Ideal for DNA/RNA Fragment Isolation

Benchmark's specialty agarose is the perfect choice for resolving small DNA/RNA fragments and isolating nucleic acids from gels or performing in-gel manipulations. Available in three specialty grades — LM, HR, and 3:1 — it provides the ideal solution for your electrophoretic needs.

Key Features:

• Environmentally Friendly: Made using a green process that eliminates the use of organic solvents, offering enhanced resolution with low background for accurate results.
• Three Specialty Grades:
  • Agarose LM: Low-melting agarose, ideal for use in gel preparations at lower temperatures, perfect for samples between 200bp and 250kb.
  • Agarose HR: Ultra-high resolution agarose, suitable for small fragment analysis, offering high resolution of 20bp to 800bp fragments.
  • Agarose 3:1: A blended agarose for small fragments under 1,000bp, ideal for applications like PCR and small fragment analysis.

Product Benefits:

• Enhanced Resolution: Achieves higher clarity with a low background for better separation.
• Non-Toxic: Free from DNase, RNase, Endonuclease, and Protease, ensuring high purity and integrity for sensitive nucleic acid analysis.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for DNA analysis, PCR, STRs, AFLP, and small fragment isolation in gel electrophoresis.
