Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis Unit

1. What is the role of a DGGE Unit in molecular biology?

Our DGGE Unit is designed to separate DNA fragments of identical length but different sequences, making it ideal for mutation analysis, microbial population studies, and genetic diversity research.

2. How does the DGGE technique function?

In Labotronics DGGE, DNA fragments migrate through a polyacrylamide gel with a gradient of denaturants. As fragments encounter their melting points, they slow down or stop, producing distinct separation patterns.

3. In which research fields is DGGE commonly applied?

DGGE is widely applied in microbial ecology, clinical diagnostics, population genetics, biodiversity monitoring, and mutation screening.

4. What kind of DNA samples are suitable for DGGE analysis

Typically, DGGE analyzes PCR-amplified DNA segments, ribosomal genes, and other nucleic acid fragments of the same length but varied sequence composition.
