Reaction Setup

Prior to heating, Agarose Tablets require a 3 minutes incubation at room temperature in buffer*. This incubation step softens and then dissolves the agarose tablet in the buffer. Once dissolved, proceed as normal, and heat the agarose solution preferably using a microwave. All other parameters are as same as using the agarose in the powder form.
(*The time needed to dissolve the tablet is dependent on the laboratory temperature. Please, do not microwave the tablet in the buffer immediately, as this will cause the formation of smaller insoluble pellets. The room-temperature incubation step, prior to heating, is important to achieve a homogeneous mix).
