Specialty Agaroses for Specific Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Applications

Covering a wide range of agarose gel electrophoresis applications, our agaroses are optimized for the unique requirements of your molecular biology techniques. We provide specialty agaroses designed for:

• RNA and DNA agarose gel electrophoresis
• PFGE for large fragment analysis
• PCR fragment analysis
• DNA and RNA recovery and cloning
• Northern and Southern blotting

Our agarose gel electrophoresis offerings also include agaroses appropriate for special applications, such as viral plaque assays, cell culture, cDNA library expansion, comet assays, and more.

Explore the types of agarose available for a variety of agarose gel electrophoresis applications, and choose the agarose that fits your needs.

Which Agarose Do I Need?

Use our selection guides to find the right agarose for your agarose gel electrophoresis application. Explore your agarose gel electrophoresis options based on fragment size, application, technique and agarose concentration.

Since many years we have supplied the research community with high quality agarose gel electrophoresis products and enabled nucleic acid separation, detection, and recovery. Those years of experience led to the development of The Sourcebook – “everything you could possibly want to know about agarose gel electrophoresis.”

Section II of our SourceBook "Preparation of Agarose Gels" provides the following valuable information on how to prepare gels for agarose gel electrophoresis:

- Agarose and Compatible Techniques (page 76)

- Agarose Types (page 77)

- Agarose Analytical Specifications (page 79)

- Suggested Agarose Concentrations & Dye Migration Information (page 80)

- Buffers for Electrophoresis (page 81)

Lonza is one of the very few agarose suppliers in the world with experience in development, manufacture, quality control and distribution of agarose. Since the 1960’s, our agarose products have been supplied under the names Cambrex, Biowhittaker, FMC and Marine Colloids.

In 2007, with the acquisition of the agarose manufacturing facility from Cambrex, Lonza became a leading innovator and trusted supplier of agarose and precast gels. Since then, we have been marketing our agarose gel electrophoresis product brands, including SeaKem^®, NuSieve^®, and MetaPhor^®, with Lonza’s reputation for high quality and reliable performance.

With over 50 years of experience providing fast, reliable agarose gel electrophoresis and analysis of nucleic acids and proteins, Lonza offers a complete range of specialized agaroses. Bringing a strong history of innovation and reliability to your most important research, our well-known brands set the standard for quality in nucleic and protein agarose gel electrophoresis.
