Agarose gel is favored in histology for several reasons:
- Non-toxic and Biocompatible: Agarose is non-toxic and does not interfere with biological processes, making it suitable for use with live cells and tissues. - Versatile: It can be used for both electrophoresis and as an embedding medium. - Adjustable: The concentration can be manipulated to create gels with different pore sizes, accommodating a range of molecular weights.
