Example types with agarose
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Agar consists of a mixture of agarose and agaropectin. (9 words)
The plant also manufactures agarose for use in molecular biology. (10 words)
Agarose gels as dilute as 0.15% can form slabs for gel electrophoresis. (13 words)
Agarose is also harder than agar and may therefore be preferable where greater gel strength is necessary, and its lower gelling temperature may prevent causing thermal shock to the organism when the cells are suspended in liquid before gelling. (39 words)
For affinity chromatography, beaded agarose is the most commonly used matrix resin for the attachment of the ligands that bind protein. citation The ligands are linked covalently through a spacer to activated hydroxyl groups of agarose bead polymer. (38 words)
Agarose gel has lower resolving power than polyacrylamide gel for DNA but has a greater range of separation, and is therefore used for DNA fragments of usually 50-20,000 bp in size. (33 words)
Example sentences (20)
Agarose gel electrophoresis main Agarose gel electrophoresis is the routine method for resolving DNA in the laboratory.
Another setup commonly used for measuring chemotaxis and chemokinesis utilizes the under-agarose cell migration assay, whereby a layer of agarose gel is placed between a cell population and a chemoattractant.
For affinity chromatography, beaded agarose is the most commonly used matrix resin for the attachment of the ligands that bind protein. citation The ligands are linked covalently through a spacer to activated hydroxyl groups of agarose bead polymer.
The plant also manufactures agarose for use in molecular biology.
Agar consists of a mixture of agarose and agaropectin.
Agarose gel electrophoresis is most commonly done horizontally in a submarine mode whereby the slab gel is completely submerged in buffer during electrophoresis.
Agarose gel has large pore size and good gel strength that made it particularly suitable as an anticonvection medium for the electrophoresis of DNA and large protein molecules.
Agarose gel has lower resolving power than polyacrylamide gel for DNA but has a greater range of separation, and is therefore used for DNA fragments of usually 50-20,000 bp in size.
Agarose gels are cast horizontally in a mold, and when set, usually run horizontally submerged in a buffer solution.
Agarose gels are easily cast and handled compared to other matrices and nucleic acids are not chemically altered during electrophoresis.
Agarose gels as dilute as 0.15% can form slabs for gel electrophoresis.
Agarose is also harder than agar and may therefore be preferable where greater gel strength is necessary, and its lower gelling temperature may prevent causing thermal shock to the organism when the cells are suspended in liquid before gelling.
A layer of agarose gel is placed between a cell population and a chemoattractant.
Applications An agarose gel with bands of DNA stained with ethidium bromide and visualized under UV light on a UV Transilluminator.
Casting of gel Loading DNA samples into the wells of an agarose gel using a multi-channel pipette.
Digital image of 3 plasmid restriction digests run on a 1% w/v agarose gel, 3 volt/cm, stained with ethidium bromide.
Electrophoresis Agarose gel slab in electrophoresis tank with bands of dyes indicating progress of the electrophoresis.
For standard agarose gel electrophoresis, larger molecules are resolved better using a low concentration gel while smaller molecules separate better at high concentration gel.
Gel electrophoresis main Two percent Agarose Gel in Borate Buffer cast in a Gel Tray (Front, angled) Gel electrophoresis is one of the principal tools of molecular biology.
Gel electrophoresis of large DNA or RNA is usually done by agarose gel electrophoresis.
