MetaPhor® Agarose

MetaPhor® is an intermediate melting temperature agarose that lets you resolve DNA fragments differing in size by 2%, in the range of 200 bp to 800 bp.

• All Lonza agarose is quality tested to certify performance
• High gel strength
• Standard melting temperature

MetaPhor® Agarose is a high resolution agarose that challenges polyacrylamide. MetaPhor® Agarose is an intermediate melting temperature (75 °C) agarose with twice the resolution capabilities of the finest-sieving agarose products. For example, a 200 bp DNA fragment can be separated from a 204 bp fragment. Using fast running protocols DNA differing in size by 1% can be resolved in as little as 1.5 hours in a 20 cm long horizontal or vertical gel format. MetaPhor agarose gels (2 to 4%) approximate the resolution of polyacrylamide gels (4 to 8%). These agarose gels are ideal for resolving AMPFLPs, STRs, and tri- and tetranucleotide repeats. Ideal for small PCR fragments, MetaPhore® is the choice agarose for resolving hard to see bands.

Applications: Small fragments, PCR.
