Gel Electrophoresis: Gel Electrophoresis

Your Replacement for Gelase™ Gel digestion enzyme is here!

Cambio Agarose Gel-Digesting Enzyme is a unique enzyme solution developed for simple, quantitative recovery of intact DNA and RNA from low melting point (LMP) agarose gels following electrophoresis in TAE, TBE, MOPS, or phosphate buffers. This product is an agarase derived from a heat-resistant microorganism found in the deep oceans. It has excellent heat resistance compared to conventional agarase.

Agarose Gel-Digesting Enzymedigests the carbohydrate backbone of molten agarose into small, soluble oligosaccharides (neoagaro-oligosaccharides). While the agarose solution after the degradation does not form a gel again. This property allows Agarase to be used for extracting nucleic acid from agarose gels.

The advantages of nucleic acid extraction by Agarose Gel Digesting Enzyme include the following:

• Simple Protocol
• Non -hazardous reagents
• Low melting point agarose compatible
• Relatively large DNA fragments can be recovered without damage.
• Suitable for gels made with TAE, TBE, MOPS, or phosphate buffers
• Extremely stable at -20°C, 4°C and ambient for long periods
• Retains 100% activity after >120 Freeze thaw cycle
