Product Overview
SeaPlaque® Agarose is the original low melting temperature agarose. This molecular biology grade agarose produces gels with greater sieving properties and higher clarity than standard melting temperature agarose. The low melting temperature of SeaPlaque® Agarose makes it ideal for preparative DNA and RNA electrophoresis, while its low gelling temperature is ideal for cloning of tissue culture cells and viral plaque assays.
Analytical Specifications
Gelling temperature (1.5%) 26°C - 30°C
Melting temperature (1.5%) ≤65°C
Gel strength (1%) ≥200 g/cm²
Information about bulk and custom packaging is available through Lonza’s Customer Service Team.
