Agarose is widely utilized in research focused on:
- Gel Electrophoresis: Commonly used in molecular biology to separate DNA, RNA, and proteins based on size. This technique is essential for genetic analysis and cloning, allowing researchers to visualize and analyze nucleic acids effectively.
- Cell Culture: Serves as a solidifying agent in microbiological media. Its gel-like properties create a stable environment for cell growth, making it invaluable in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
- Chromatography: Employed in the purification of biomolecules. Agarose beads are used in affinity chromatography to isolate proteins and nucleic acids, enhancing the efficiency of biochemical assays.
- Drug Delivery Systems: Utilized in formulating hydrogels for controlled release of therapeutic agents. This application is particularly beneficial in cancer treatment, where targeted drug delivery can minimize side effects.
- Histology and Pathology: Used in embedding tissues for microscopic examination. Agarose provides a supportive matrix that preserves the morphology of biological samples, aiding in disease diagnosis and research.
