Product Overview
SeaKem® GTG® Agarose is a standard gelling temperature, high gel strength agarose that resolves DNA fragments greater than 100 bp. This Genetic Technology Grade® (GTG®) agarose is specifically designed for preparative DNA electrophoresis and is tested for the presence of proteases, ligases and nucleases. DNA recovered from SeaKem® GTG® Agarose gels may be reliably digested and ligated. SeaKem® GTG® Agarose is extensively performance tested to ensure complete compatibility with routine molecular biology techniques. A Certificate of Performance containing end-use test information is supplied with each shipment.
