Benchmark Agarose LE, 100 g

The A1701 is the 100 g standard institutional pack of Benchmark Agarose LE (Low EEO), the mid-pack-size variant of the LE molecular-biology-grade agarose family at $162 ($1.62/g). The 100 g pack is the default procurement pick for routine institutional workflows where 25 g is too small (frequent reorder) and 500 g is excess inventory.

For full chemistry rationale (LE / Low EEO grade selection, 0.5 % – 3 % gel-concentration range, application breakdown), see the A1700 (25 g) parent page.

Key Specifications

Pack-Size Economics: Why 100 g Is the Default Institutional Pick

Pick the 100 g pack when:

• Workflow runs 10–40 standard gels per quarter (typical single-investigator / small-team throughput)
• Default institutional procurement for departments running mixed throughput across investigators
• Per-gram cost ($1.62/g) is acceptable vs the 500 g pack's $1.13/g, which would be excess inventory for the throughput

Pick A1700 (25 g) for evaluation / first procurement; pick A1705 (500 g) for high-throughput / multi-investigator facility procurement at lowest per-gram cost.

Ordering & Configuration

Pair with electrophoresis chassis, running buffer, and DNA stain. See A1700 parent page for full chassis / buffer / stain pairing matrix.

Confirm at quote: workflow throughput sizing (pack-size selection), specialty-agarose pairing (HR / LM / 3:1) if needed, and lead time.

Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard reagent terms.

Pack-size selection: A1700 (25 g) for evaluation; A1701 (100 g), default institutional procurement (this product); A1705 (500 g) for high-throughput facility procurement. See A1700 parent page for full chemistry rationale and specialty-agarose alternatives (A1801 family).
