EXCLU-SIEVE® Agaroses are high quality agaroses which form resilient gels and give the highest electrophoretic resolution. "FROM OCEAN TO LAB" denotes that our agarose is derived from red seaweed, fresh from the ocean. This minimizes the degradation of the agarose polymer to ensure that gel quality is uncompromised. Processing directly from seaweed is particularly important in order to preserve the High Gel Strength properties necessary for easy handling and for durable gels, unlike the agarose products derived from agar which some major suppliers use. Our goal is to provide high quality agaroses at competitive prices, so each time you use these gels in your research you will be confident your choice will be rewarded with excellent results.
