The Types of Agarose Products We Supply
We offer a comprehensive selection of agarose and related gel electrophoresis supplies to support DNA separation, RNA analysis, and protein electrophoresis workflows. Our product range is designed to accommodate laboratories of all sizes across Australia.
Our focused agarose range includes:
High Resolution Agarose
Designed for superior separation of small DNA and RNA fragments, high resolution agarose provides sharper band definition and improved clarity compared to standard grades. It is ideal for applications requiring precise fragment analysis, genotyping, and detailed molecular studies.
Low Melting Point Agarose
Formulated with a reduced gelling and melting temperature, low melting point agarose is perfect for DNA recovery and downstream applications such as cloning, ligation, and enzymatic reactions. Its gentle melting conditions help preserve the integrity of sensitive nucleic acid samples.
Molecular Biology Grade Agarose
Manufactured to stringent purity standards, molecular biology grade agarose ensures low levels of DNase, RNase, and protease contamination. It delivers reliable, reproducible results for routine DNA and RNA electrophoresis in research, diagnostic, and teaching laboratories.
Whether you’re resolving small PCR products, preparing samples for cloning, or conducting high-precision fragment analysis, our agarose products provide the performance and consistency required for molecular biology workflows. If you need assistance selecting the right grade for your application, our team is here to help.
Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Applications
Agarose gel electrophoresis plays a central role in molecular biology research, making it an indispensable technique for laboratories worldwide. Common applications include:
DNA separation and analysis: Separate DNA fragments by size to verify PCR products, restriction digests, or genomic DNA quality.
Molecular cloning: Analyse and purify DNA molecules for cloning applications, using low melting agarose for fragment recovery.
Nucleic acid quantification: Estimate DNA or RNA concentration by comparing band intensity against a DNA size marker.
Quality control: Assess the integrity of DNA samples and confirm the absence of degradation before downstream applications.
Forensic analysis: Separate and visualise DNA fragments for identification and comparison purposes.
The versatility of agarose gel electrophoresis extends across genomics, diagnostics, and research applications. By adjusting agarose concentration and gel conditions, you can optimise separation for different DNA fragment sizes and achieve the resolution your experiments require.

FAQ
Agarose concentration determines pore size in the gel matrix. Lower concentrations (0.5–0.8%) work well for large DNA fragments, whilst higher concentrations (1.5–2%) provide better resolution for smaller DNA molecules. The optimal concentration depends on the size range of DNA you're separating.
Weigh the required amount of agarose powder based on your desired final concentration and gel volume. Add it to running buffer in a flask, heat until the agarose is completely dissolved, cool slightly, and pour into your gel tray. The solution should be clear before pouring.
Low-melting agarose has a lower gelling temperature and melting point compared to standard agarose. This makes it useful when you need to recover DNA from the gel, as the lower temperature reduces potential damage to DNA samples during extraction.
Agarose gels are typically single-use. Once DNA samples have been loaded and separated, the gel contains your experimental samples and cannot be reused for subsequent runs. You'll need to prepare a fresh agarose gel for each electrophoresis run.
