AquaPor LM GTAC is a low melting temperature agarose for both large and small DNA fragments. For large fragments up to 25 kb, a 1% AquaPor LM solution forms a gel strong enough to be handled without fracturing. For separation of smaller fragments from 20 bp to 1,000 bp, AquaPor LM possesses low viscosity so that 3% or 4% gels can be made. DNA fragments separated in AquaPor LM may be immediately used for enzymatic manipulation in the presence of the remelted agarose. Ultra-fine particle size ensures fastest dissolution. AquaPor LM is certified to be DNase, RNase, and protease free. AquaPor LM is certified for in-gel PCR (re)amplification and in-gel ligation.

Protocol

DISSOLVING AQUAPOR AGAROSES

  1. Add room temperature buffer to a flask that is 2.5 – 4 times the volume of gel solution. Add a teflon-coated stir bar.
  2. Add AquaPor powder while stirring vigorously so the agarose is dispersed uniformly. Stir for 2 minutes to hydrate the agarose.
  3. Tare the flask and solution.
  4. Place in a microwave oven and heat at 100% power using 20 – 60 second intervals. Swirl gently between intervals to resuspend the agarose.
  5. Continue the cycle of heating and swirling until the agarose is completely dissolved (no visible particles are present).
  6. Add distilled water to obtain the initial weight and mix.
  7. Cool the solution to 50 – 60°C before pouring the gel.

* Chill the gel for 30 minutes prior to comb removal when using AquaPor LM, HR, and low (<1%) concentration of AquaPor LE and ES.
