Thermo Scientific™ TopVision Agarose Tablets
Description
Description
TopVision Agarose Tablets, low EEO (LE), is multipurpose agarose in tablet format delivered in a convenient blister pack. The agarose tablets are made of standard melting point agarose that yields high resolution, sharp DNA bands with high clarity and low background. Its optimized gel strength enhances ease of gel processing and handling. Manufactured using an innovative Organic Solvent-Free manufacturing process that is greener and more environmentally friendly.
Features
• Convenient tablet format - no messy weighing required.
• Fast dissolving protocol.
•“Green”- manufactured with significantly reduced environmental impact, using an innovative organic solvent-free technology.
• Enhanced resolution and reduced background.
Applications
Ideal for routine DNA and RNA gel electrophoresis and blotting assays.
Environmentally responsible Green Solution
Unlike traditional agarose powder, which production relies heavily on the use of toxic organic solvents, TopVision Agarose Tablets are manufactured using an innovative process that completely eliminates dependency on organic solvents and significantly reduces environmental impact while creating a safer working environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Add the tablet into the determined amount of buffer, presoak for two minutes, and proceed the same way as you are used to with the traditional agarose powder. Using tablets saves 15-20 minutes hands-on-time.
The electrophoresis conditions do not depend on the form of delivery of agarose. Whether it is loose powder or tablets, the material has the same physicochemical conditions. In general, 4-10 volts/cm (cm is determined by measuring the interelectrode distance, not the gel length) are recommended when running agarose gels under normal horizontal electrophoretic conditions.
Yes, the performance is the same, the convenience is much greater.The critical characteristics of agaroses (melting/gelling temperature, gel strength, electroendosmosis (EEO)) impacting the performance are the same.
A tablet is a more convenient format, eliminating the messy and time-consuming weighing step.
