SequaGel MD permits minor mutational differences in DNA sequences to be detected as a high-resolution relative mobility (Rf) shift. SequaGel MD is a proprietary formulation, supplied as a 2X stock, designed to resolve sequence-related differences by SSCP (single-strand conformational polymorphism) and heteroduplex analysis.

DNA mutations—or sequence modifications—are readily associated with specific disease states. Since a variation of a single nucleotide in a sequence may indicate a significant genetic anomaly, an extremely sensitive method to analyze these mutations is necessary.

Two principal methods of conformational analysis have been developed, SSCP Analysis and heteroduplex analysis. SequaGel MD is available as a monomer solution packaged with Triple Dye Loading Buffer in the SequaGel MD Heteroduplex Kit or with SSCP Stop Solution in the SequaGel MD SSCP Kit.

SequaGel MD is designed to run SSCP samples in the 100-300 nucleotide range at a 0.5X concentration. Small fragments may be better resolved by using higher concentration (0.75X) gels. Larger fragments may be better resolved by running lower concentration (0.4X) gels. SequaGel MD is designed to run heteroduplex analysis on DNA fragments up to 900 bases at a 1X concentration.

By preventing band inversions, SequaGel XR bands are sharp and true. SequaGel XR provides more information by allowing greater separation between bands near the top of the gel. This effect, similar to a wedge gel, is achieved with standard spacers.

The quality and consistency of SequaGel XR is evidenced by the uniform background obtained upon drying. Band edges are sharp. Even without fixing, the gel will dry without cracking or crazing. The result is a finely-rendered, highly detailed DNA gel.

SequaGel XR Concentrate is manufactured as a 50% stock solution. SequaGel XR is also shipped as a two-component system consisting of the SequaGel XR Monomer Solution and SequaGel Complete Buffer. SequaGel Complete Buffer Solution contains TBE and TEMED. No dilutions are necessary in this easy-to-use system. The researcher simply combines the two solutions, adds ammonium persulfate, and casts the gel.

Storage: SequaGel XR Concentrate is stable for one year when stored tightly capped, in a dark area at room temperature (20°C).
