Gibco™ 4% Agarose is an autoclaved, high purity, low melting point gel designed for plaque assays and the purification of baculovirus. The 4% Agarose Gel melts at 65 – 70°C and remains fluid at 37°C. When diluted with concentrated insect cell culture medium, Gibco™ 4% Agarose produces a gel firm enough to immobilize local infections, yet ductile enough to allow for the efficient removal of plaques for clonal expansion.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can I autoclave agarose to prepare agarose gels?

No. Autoclaving at temperatures that are too high or pressures that are too high can hydrolyze the agarose polymer and weaken it.

How can generation of replication competent adenoviruses be avoided when using your pSilencer adeno 1.0-CMV System?

Although there is only a very small chance of creating replication competent virus, steps should still be taken to avoid added risk. The virus is expanded in two rounds of amplification, and all secondary expansions should be performed from an initial expansion stock. Secondary amplifications in HEK293 cells should not be performed from the stock of another secondary expansion, as this could increase the chance of making replication competent virus. See the product manual for more detail and guidelines for screening.
