Reversibility in the Physical Properties of Agarose Gels following an Exchange in Solvent and Non-Solvent

Denis C. D. Roux,
François Caton,
Isabelle Jeacomine
et al.

Abstract: Agarose forms a homogeneous thermoreversible gel in an aqueous solvent above a critical polymer concentration. Contrary to the prevailing consensus, recent confirmations indicate that agarose gels are also stable in non-solvents like acetone and ethanol. A previous study compared gel characterisations and behaviours in water and ethanol, discussing the gelation mechanism. In the current work, the ethanol gel is exchanged with water to explore the potential reversibility of the displacement of water in agarose.… Show more
