A new advanced manufacturing process produces agarose without the use of any organic solvents yielding a cleaner product with a significantly reduced environmental impact. A New Agarose LE can be used for analyses of proteins and nucleic acids of various sizes (150 bp to 6 kbp). The new cleaner product has been specifically formulated for high gel strength and integrity. New Agarose LE exhibits exceptional thermal stability and mechanical resistance, ensuring safe, easy handling in the laboratory, regardless of whether a denaturing agent has been added.
