Recovery of DNA from Low-melting-temperature Agarose Gels: Organic Extraction.
A number of grades of agarose are available in which hydroxyethyl groups have been introduced into the agarose molecule. This substitution causes the agarose to gel at 30 o C and to melt at 65 o C-well below the melting temperature for most DNAs. These properties have been exploited to develop a simple technique for the recovery of DNA from gels (Weislander 1979). 1. Dissolve the low-melting-te...
متن کاملTuning colloidal gels by shear.
Using a powerful combination of experiments and simulations we demonstrate how the microstructure and its time evolution are linked with mechanical properties in a frustrated, out-of-equilibrium, particle gel under shear. An intermediate volume fraction colloid-polymer gel is used as a model system, allowing quantification of the interplay between interparticle attractions and shear forces. Rhe...
متن کاملPolymer-mediated melting in ultrasoft colloidal gels.
Star polymers with a high number of arms, f=263, become kinetically trapped when dispersed in an athermal solvent at concentrations above the overlapping one, forming physical gels. We show that the addition of linear chains at different concentrations and molecular weights reduces the modulus of the gel, eventually melting it. We explain this linear polymer-induced gel-liquid transition in ter...
متن کاملRegular linking of cellulose nanocrystals via click chemistry: synthesis and formation of cellulose nanoplatelet gels.
Over a number of years work in our laboratory has been developing new chemistry for the use of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as scaffolds for the creation of nanomaterials with novel, stimuli responsive characteristics. Our work takes advantage of the rigid nature of CNCs, the unique nanopattern etched on their surface in the form of regularly spaced primary OH groups, and the fact that these m...
متن کاملShear melting of a colloidal glass.
We use confocal microscopy to explore shear melting of colloidal glasses, which occurs at strains of approximately 0.08, coinciding with a strongly non-Gaussian step size distribution. For larger strains, the particle mean square displacement increases linearly with strain and the step size distribution becomes Gaussian. The effective diffusion coefficient varies approximately linearly with she...
