Used for DNA and RNA electrophoresis to separate nucleic acid fragments by size. The 1% concentration is ideal for resolving fragments between 500 bp and 10,000 bp. Pre-cast format saves time and ensures consistent gel quality. The 8-well comb allows multiple samples to be run simultaneously. Commonly used in molecular biology labs for routine analysis, PCR product verification, and restriction digestion checks. Compatible with TAE buffer for optimal resolution and gel stability. Requires no preparation—ready to load and run, reducing handling errors and exposure to harmful chemicals like ethidium bromide during gel casting.
