Another Product You Don’t Need……
At a vendor fair I picked up a free sample of Agarose Tablets from BIOLINE! The little white pills of agarose eliminate the messy task of weighing out agarose! Okay, unlike LB powder or SDS, weighing out agarose isn’t really that messy. The little pills do save you the time you’d spend weighing out the agarose. Unfortunately, the pills have to dissolve for for 6 minutes in your buffer before you can microwave/melt them. Okay, no time saved. Safer to use?? I have no idea what that even means. The agarose tablets are probably MORE dangerous. Swallow one of those suckers by accident and I bet you’d be plugged up for days. Oh yeah, and they’re more expensive.
Thanks but no thanks.

Can I have some? I’ll store it next to the cell culture freezing medium (=DMEM with a bit of DMSO added), another uselessly overpriced product that doesn’t need to exist.
Oh, sorry, guess that just needed to come out.
