1. agarose
   One of the constituents of agar. Often used in preference to agar because it gels at a lower temperature and does not contain the inhibitors of virus growth frequently present in agar. It is also used widely in gel electrophoresis because it has a more uniform pore size than that of agar.

3. agarose
   a separation technique using agarose gel as stationary phase. Agarose gel electrophoresis is important in gene manipulation and sequencing, since it can separate DNA molecules on the basis of their molecular weight. Levels as low as 0.5mg DNA can be detected by examination in ultraviolet light Category: Medicine

4. agarose
   A galactan polymer purified from agar that forms a rigid gel with high free water content. Primarily used as an electrophoretic support for separation of macromolecules. Stabilized derivatives are used as ‘macroporous` supports in affinity chromatography. See Sepharose.

5. agarose
   <chemical> This linear galactan is created by purifying agar, when it is heated and cooled, it forms a gel that is used as a support for many types of electrophoresis and immunodiffusion (agarbiose). A typical gel is about 1% agarose. ... Agarose is more porous than acrylamide and is sold in d...
