   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.

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...
