Agarose,Low melting point CAS Number

Agarose, Low melting point is a hydroxyethylated derivative of agarose derived from Gelidium and Gracilaria species, serving as a biocompatible, thermo-reversible gel matrix. Due to its reduced gelling and melting temperatures, it enables the non-destructive separation, encapsulation, and recovery of intact nucleic acids. Furthermore, this supporting matrix facilitates three-dimensional cell culture, clonogenic soft agar assays, and single-cell gel electrophoresis by maintaining cellular integrity and viability during temperature-dependent gelation. ^[1]
