Benchmark Scientific Agarose LE Features
Benchmark Scientific Agarose LE is a highly purified, multipurpose agarose developed for reliable separation and analysis of nucleic acids and proteins. Suitable for fragment sizes ranging from 150 bp to 25 kbp, it supports analytical and preparative electrophoresis, protein separation, and various blotting applications.
Produced through an advanced purification process that eliminates the use of organic solvents, Agarose LE offers a cleaner final product while reducing the environmental impact associated with traditional processing methods. Its low electroendosmosis (EEO) value of ≤0.13 promotes increased electrophoretic mobility, improved band resolution, and shorter run times.
The agarose forms clear, colorless gels with minimal absorption of chemical staining agents, making sample visualization easier. Its high gel strength and thermal stability provide reliable handling and mechanical integrity throughout electrophoresis procedures. Gel pore size can also be adjusted by modifying agarose concentration to accommodate different sample sizes and separation requirements.
Available in 25g, 100g, and 500g quantities, Benchmark Agarose LE provides a versatile solution for routine molecular biology research and laboratory applications.
