This molecular screening agarose is designed to have a larger gel network than MS-8 and is recommended for the separation of DNA fragments smaller than 1500 bp.
Key features
Industry
Cloning, culture media for molecular biology, PCR and electrophoresis.
Principles and uses
Gels made with MS-12 have higher gel strength than competitive products. The gel is exceptionally firm but still flexible when handled, minimizing the danger of cracking or breaking.
MS-12 has the same melting and gelling temperature as regular agaroses, allowing faster and easier preparation of gels. MS-12 also gives excellent resolution at concentrations of 1%.
This agarose is recommended for all analytical applications, especially when DNA is recovered for subsequent use in enzymatic procedures.
