An alternative to agarose, TreviGel is a unique
blend of polysaccharides containing AgaCryl
producing electrophoretic gels with unsurpassed resolving capabilities,
strength, and clarity. Two formulations tailored for PCR fragment
separations are available.
TreviGel 500 is ideal for separating small DNA
fragments generated by PCR. TreviGel 500 is available as a powder in
several convenient sizes. The concentration of the powder can be
adjusted to allow the optimal separation of DNA fragments from 50 to
1300 bp. The powder is quickly and easily prepared by heating in TAE
buffer that is typically used for agarose gel electrophoresis. This
product approaches polyacrylamide in its separation properties, but does
not have the neurotoxic properties of acrylamide.
TreviGel 5000 is optimized for the separation of
DNA fragments in the range of 100 bp to 25,000 bp. TreviGel 5000 powder
is available in several sizes and includes easy to follow instructions
for use. The powder is quickly and easily prepared by heating in TAE
buffer. This product replaces agarose in its separation properties. With
a lower cost per gel than agarose, TreviGel 5000 achieves better
separation, and has the advantages of being clearer (enhancing
sensitivity) and stronger. |
