Application Notes
Agarose is a linear polysaccharide derived from agar that can be used for multiple life science applications, most notably gel eletrophoresis. It is composed of alternating residues of D- and Lgalactose that are joined by glycosidic linkages which forms an inert matrix that allows for the separation of charged molecules according to size in electrophoresis applications. Agarose has a lower resolution than polyacrylamide gels, but it has a wider range of separation.
