Product information "Agarose LM - low melting"

Agarose LM is the original low melting agarose. This "molecular biology grade" agarose gives gels with better properties and higher transparency than the standard normal melting point agarose. The agarose is equivalent to SeaPlaque™ from Lonza. Agarose LM is a low melting agarose with a very high separation capacity for large DNA fragments (>1000 bp), RNA and proteins. Enzymatic manipulations (eg, digestion, ligation, PCR, etc.) can be performed in the molten gel. Extraction of the DNA is therefore not necessary. Low melting Agarose LM is excellently suited for digestion with β-agarase (S5223). Large DNA fragments can be isolated very gently. The low melting agarose LM is used in the analytical and preparative field. For optimal results, the gel should be stored for at least 1 hour before use at +2°C to +8°C.

Genaxxon offers agaroses for a wide variety of applications. There are agaroses with different melting points or with normal or high-resolution separation properties of DNA fragments.

Standard melting point agarose M3044 with standard resolution used in routine DNA electrophoresis for separation of a wide range of DNA fragments from 50bp up to 20kbp. This agarose is available as powder (Standard Agarose LE (M3044 >)) or as high-quality, multi-purpose tablets (M3054 >) available in blister packaging in 200 or 1,000 tablet quantities. These are compact, pre-weight and therefore easy-to-use.

Low melting/gelling temperature agarose recommended for rapid DNA gel extraction with the agarose-digesting enzyme, Agarase, as well as for “in-gel’ DNA treatment with enzymes or for bacterial transformation with nucleic acids directly after re-melting the gel.

High resolution agarose (normal melting or low melting) for high resolution elektrophoresis to differentiate DNA fragments with only 2 bp size difference: M3046 Agarose Tiny > (low melt, high resolution comparable to NuSieve®), or M3047 Agarose Tiny HT > (high gel strength, high resolution comparable to SeaKem®).

For the nontoxic staining of nucleic acids in agarose gels the highly sensitive fluorescent dye SafeGel red stain (M3193) or SafeGel green stain (M3191) is recommended.

FAQs
No search results.
The pore size of the agarose gel depends on the concentration of the agarose. Higher concentrations lead to smaller pores and a firmer gel, which affects the separation of larger DNA fragments. Lower concentrations result in a softer gel with larger pores for smaller fragments.
The choice of the right agarose depends on the size of the DNA or RNA fragments you want to separate, as well as the type of application planned. Genaxxon offers a range of agaroses, including standard agarose, high-resolution agarose, and low-melting agarose, which are suitable for various applications such as blotting, PFGE, in-gel analyses, and more. If you're unsure which agarose is right for your application, feel free to contact our technical support at info@genaxxon.com.
For separating small DNA fragments or for high-resolution applications, high-resolution agaroses are ideal. These agaroses can reveal differences of just a few base pairs (2-3 bp) and are excellent for allele sizing experiments or mutation analysis. Genaxxon offers two high-resolution agaroses: M3046 – Agarose Tiny and M3047 – Agarose Tiny HT.
Low-melting agarose has a lower melting point and is especially suited for rapid DNA extraction from gels and in-gel processing. It is also ideal for re-isolating DNA and RNA and for conducting phage plaque assays. Genaxxon offers two low-melting agaroses: M3046 – Agarose Tiny and M3049 – Agarose LM – low melting.
Low-melting agarose is particularly useful in cell culture applications, such as phage plaque assays. It aids in the rapid extraction of DNA and is used in cell culture to test virus concentrations. For these applications, Genaxxon offers M3049 – Agarose LM – low melting.
For blotting experiments, such as Southern blotting, Genaxxon recommends agaroses like Agarose LE (M3044)Agarose Tiny HT (M3047), and Agarose Mega (M3051), which enable precise separation and transfer of DNA onto a membrane.
Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) is a method for separating DNA fragments larger than 30 kb. Genaxxon recommends Agarose Mega (M3051) for PFGE, which provides better resolution of large DNA fragments.

gm3094 100 bp dna ladder with additional 1.5kbp and 3.0kbp bands

Our DNA marker GenLadder 100 bp Plus with loading dye is an ideal tool to determine the size of double stranded DNA in the range of 100 - 3000 bp. The additional bands at 1.5kbp and 3.0kbp allow to assign additional DNA fragment sizes in the range up to 3000 bp without using an additional 1kbp DNA marker. The Gene Ladder 100 bp Plus consists of 12 fragments in sizes between 100 - 1000bp spaced 100bp apart. In addition, there are further bands at 1500bp and 3000bp. The 500bp and 1500bp fragment show stronger intensity to allow easier identification. All fragments are 'blunt-ended'. The GenLadder can be directly labeled at the 5'-end with radioisotopes using T4 polynucleotide Kinase for visualisation by autoradiography. Fragment sizes (in base pairs): 3000 bp (40ng/5µL), 2x 1500 bp (70ng/5µL), 1000 bp (50ng/5µL), 900 bp (40ng/5µL), 800 bp (40ng/5µL), 700 bp (30ng/5µL), 600 bp (30ng/5µL), 2x 500 bp (90ng/5µL), 400 bp (40ng/5µL), 300 bp (30ng/5µL), 200 bp (40ng/5µL), 100 bp (40ng/5µL).

Agarose Tiny HT von Genaxxon

Our Agarose Tiny HT is a high resolution (+/-2 bp), normal melting agarose for fine resolution of small DNA fragments in the 20 bp to 1500 bp range. It can be used for genotyping, allele sizing and short tandem repeat analysis. Agarose Tiny works as a molecular screen and has twice the resolution of the finest sieving agaroses. It can discriminate between fragments which differ by only 2-4 bp in length and thus, is able to compete with acrylamide gels, being much easier to handle as the latter. Agarose Tiny HT 2% to 4% gels give similar results to Polyacrylamide 6% to 8% gels. For efficient resolution, the concentration of Agarose Tiny HT should be adjusted according to the range of band sizes analyzed, and the gel running buffer used (TAE or TBE). Genaxxon offers Agaroses for different purposes. Two melting point options and normal or high resolution separation of DNA fragments are available.Standard agarose high melting point agarose M3044 with standard resolution used in routine DNA electrophoresis for separation of a wide range of DNA fragments from 50bp up to 20kbp. This agarose is available as powder (M3044 Agarose LE >) or as high-quality, multi-purpose tablets (M3054 >) available in blister packaging in 200 or 1,000 tablet quantities. These are compact, pre-weight and therefore easy-to-use. Low melting/gelling temperature agarose recommended for rapid DNA gel extraction with the agarose-digesting enzyme, Agarase, as well as for “in-gel’ DNA treatment with enzymes or for bacterial transformation with nucleic acids directly after re-melting the gel. High resolution agarose (normal melting or low melting) for high resolution elektrophoresis to differentiate DNA fragments with only 2 bp size difference: M3046 Agarose Tiny > (low melt, high resolution comparable to NuSieve®), or M3047 Agarose Tiny HT > (high gel strength, high resolution comparable to SeaKem®). For the nontoxic staining of nucleic acids in agarose gels the highly sensitive fluorescent dye SafeGel red stain (M3193) or SafeGel green stain (M3191) is recommended.

Low melting Agarose Tiny from Genaxxon - M3046

Agarose Tiny is a low-melting high resolution agarose that is suitable for molecular biology applications and produces gels with better separation properties and greater clarity than standard agarose. It is very transparent even at high gel concentrations (3.0 - 4.5%) and can be used with all buffer systems. The low melting temperature makes Agarose Tiny ideal for preparative DNA and RNA electrophoresis, while the low gelling temperature is ideal for tissue culture cell cloning experiments and viral plaque assays. In addition to the above mentioned properties, Agarose Tiny can also be used for high-resolution (2 bp) gel electrophoresis in the range from 10 to 500 bp. Example: PCR products or small DNA fragments after restriction digestion or in mutation analyses. Features:Like Lonza's SeaPlaque™, Agarose Tiny has a low melting point (<64°C, 3.0% gel) and gel point (<25°C, 3.0% gel) and low DNA-binding capacity. Their use is particularly recommended for preparative RNA and DNA gels. Genaxxon offers Agaroses for different purposes. Two melting point options and normal or high resolution separation of DNA fragments are available. Standard agarose high melting point agarose M3044 with standard resolution used in routine DNA electrophoresis for separation of a wide range of DNA fragments from 50bp up to 20kbp.
