Agarose

Low gel temperature electroendosmosis: 0,1 gel strength 1,5% solution: ≥550 gm/cm² gel temperature (1%): 30 °C A 1% solution remains fluid at 37 °C for up to 24 hours. Will set to a firm gel at 25 °C, and not remelt until temperatures exceed 65 °C. This ability to remain in solution at 30 to 37 °C allows a second digest on a restriction enzyme fragment without need to recover it from the gel. Agarose LGT is also preferred for studies of cellular antibody production and the Jerne Plaque assay of immune responses. Also used in agarose droplet macrophage inhibitory factor (MIF) assay.
