D-2 Agarose has a higher gelling temperature than D-1 Agarose and Low EEO*.

This gives higher thermal stability to the gels.

Features
- Extraordinary mechanical resistance for more reliable and easier handling.

- Possibility of varying pore size in accordance with particle size by modifying the gel concentration.

- Easy preparation of the gel by simple dissolution in aqueous buffers either by standard boiling or microwaving.

- Greater thermal stability due to high hysteresis (difference between gelling and melting temperatures).

- Excellent transparency of the gels.

- Excellent elasticity and flexibility of the gels.

- Great capacity for derivatization and cross-linking, which allows coupling of enzymes, antigens and other substances to the gel structure.

- Exceptionally low absorption of staining agents.

- Absence of toxicity (the alternative is polyacrylamide which can be toxic).

Applications

D-2:

- Nucleic acid electrophoresis.

- Protein electrophoresis (immunoelectrophoresis and counterelectrophoresis).

- Preparation of agarose beads.
