Ideal for separating nucleic acids of a wide range of sizes
GeneDireX Agarose Tablets (DNase/RNase free) are designed to provide a cleaner, safer, no-mess environment and more convenience than powdered agarose. Each tablet contains a pre-determined amount of agarose (0.5g), eliminating the need to weigh out loose agarose powder. Simply add the appropriate number of tablets to your buffer, incubate at room temperature for five minutes, heat the solution and then prepare your gel as normal.
Features:
DNase/RNase-free, Fast and convenient
No weighing required
High clarity and low background
Greater gel-to-gel consistency
Gels as low as 0.5% are feasible
Safer and cleaner to use than conventional agarose powder.
Preparation for Use:
Prior to heating, Agarose Tablets require a 3 minutes incubation at room temperature in buffer*. This incubation step softens and then dissolves the agarose tablet in the buffer. Once dissolved, proceed as normal, and heat the agarose solution preferably using a microwave. All other parameters are as same as using the agarose in the powder form.
(*The time needed to dissolve the tablet is dependent on the laboratory temperature. Please, do not microwave the tablet in the buffer immediately, as this will cause the formation of smaller insoluble pellets. The room-temperature incubation step, prior to heating, is important to achieve a homogeneous mix). Approximate volume of buffer and number of Tablets needed to achieve the stated gel strength.

Product Notes
The Agarose Tablets (Catalog #AAA402002) is a Reagent and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. DNA/RNA Electrophoresis Ideal for separating nucleic acids of a wide range of sizes. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Agarose Tablets for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Agarose Tablets, Reagent" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
