Product information "Agarose Mega"

Agarose Mega resolved DNA and RNA fragments from >100bp up to 50kb. Due to the high gel strength the agarose is ideally suited for Southern- and Northern blotting experiments or Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) as gel will not break during handling or electrophoresis. Due to the high gel strength, low concentrations of agarose may be used and high molecular weight molecules migrate rapidly without significant resctriction. The high gel strength reduces separation times for large DNA molecules while maintaining high resolution. Agarose Mega can also be used for the preparative separation of nucleic acids or for Ouchterlony or radial immundiffusion experiments.

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.

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.
