Bullseye Agarose General Purpose

Bullseye Molecular Biology Grade Agarose is certified for use in standard electrophoresis procedures, including nucleic acid analysis, preparative electrophoresis, and blotting. This highly refined and purified agarose is produced under strict testing parameters to ensure lot-to-lot consistency. It features low electrophoretic mobility characteristics, making it ideal for a variety of applications.

Extracted from the cell walls of certain Rhodophyceae (agarophyte seaweeds), Bullseye Standard Agarose is a neutral polysaccharide composed of galactan, linked by agarobioses in a 1-3, 1-4 arrangement. This unique chemical structure enables agarose to form robust gels even at low concentrations. The gels exhibit a macroreticular structure with an open mesh, easily adjustable by varying the agarose concentration.
