FastGene® Agarose for DNA/RNA Elektrophoresis The FastGene® Agarose is suited for a rapid separation of DNA and RNA fragments as well as PCR products and plasmid DNA. This molecular biology grade agarose is easy to dissolve and enables a rapid gelling. The purity of the agarose leads to an excellent transparency and a low background. This results in sharp and well defined DNA and/or RNA bands. The high gel strength allows to use concentrations from 0,75 – 2%. Blotting experiments will run perfectly and separation efficiency from 250 bp to 23 kb is guaranteed. Every batch of this agarose is tested with different sized DNA fragments and the background fluorescence with Ethidium Bromide is determined. The presence of DNAses and RNases is assayed as well. Specifications: Ash content: ≤ 0,45 % Sulphate: ≤ 0,1 % Clarity: ≤ 4 NTU Gel Strength: ≥ 1000 g/cm2 (1 %); ≥ 2200 g/cm2 (1,5 %) Gelling Temperature: 36 ± 1,5 °C Melting Temperature: 88 ± 1,5 °C DNase/RNase: NEGATIVE
