Agarose D-1 LE Low Electroendosmosis (EEO) 500g It is specifically prepared for the use in electrophoretic studies to analyze DNA fragments from PCR products and digestion by restriction endonucleases, among others. Obtained from seaweeds, mostly Gelidium spp, agarose is a polymer composed of several agarobiose units that aggregate into a network with varying pore sizes. This property is used to separate nucleic acid fragments based on their lengths. Agarose is a gel at room temperature and remains firm at temperatures up to 65 ºC. In order to gelify, agarose must be dissolved, heated to its melting temperature (85-91ºC) and cooled down to 34-37ºC.
LB Agar (Lennox L Agar) 500g It is a solid medium used for molecular genetic studies. Enzymatic Digest of Casein supplies amino acids and peptides.

Yeast Extract is a source of B-complex vitamins and minerals. Sodium Chloride provides essential electrolytes and maintains the osmotic equilibrium. Agar is the gelifying agent.
Luria Agar (Miller’s Modified) 500g It is used for maintaining Escherichia coli in molecular genetic studies. Enzymatic Digest of Casein supplies amino acids and peptides. Yeast Extract is a source of B-complex vitamins and minerals. Sodium Chloride provides essential electrolytes and maintains the osmotic equilibrium. Agar is the gelifying agent.
M9 Minimal Salts 500g It (with additions) is used to prepare M9 Minimal Medium, which is used to cultivate recombinant strains of Escherichia coli. M9 Minimal Salts is combined with a selected carbon and energy source (e.g. Dextrose) to create a minimally nutritious, chemically defined culture medium for recombinant Escherichia coli growth and culture maintenance. The ability to tightly control the nutritional content of the medium allows for the continued selection for specific plasmids encoding the ability to produce necessary vitamins and amino acids missing from the nutritional complement of the medium. By further supplementing the M9 Minimal Medium with selected amino acid or other necessary metabolites, it is possible to create a selection medium designed for specific auxotrophs, greatly expanding the flexibility of this medium to select for and support the growth of very unique recombinant Escherichia coli strains.
