Agar probes are use in applications where there is an oil/water interface that needs to be monitored. Often in such interfaces an emulsion occurs (a mixture of oil and water droplets). Such emulsions make it difficult to determine between the emulsion and the pure water/ pure oil strata, using standard methods such as a float level. Agar probes emit microwaves, which are readily absorbed by water but not by oil. By measuring the level of microwave energy absorbed by the surrounding fluid the agar probe can be use to determine whether it is in a water, oil or emulsion strata. A typical application would be in the oil and gas production. The purpose here is to separate and remove pure water used in processing from waste oil. Since this water can be recycled for reuse in processing or even pumped back into the environment, it is important that only pure water and not oil or an oil/water emulsion is pumped from the seperator tanks. Agar probes are a reliable way of ensuring this.

Why vibration probe gap voltage set in negative 10 voltage?
Thats the linear range of the probe
Why does a probe hybridize to a target gene but not to any other unrelated gene?
Complementary base pairing occurs only between the probe and the target gene.

How do scientist locate a specific gene in a genomic library?
Scientists use a nucleic acid probe where scientists treat the DNA being searched with chemicals or heat to seperate the two DNA strands, then the nucleic acid probe is mixed with the single strands and the probe tags the direct DNA portion.

What is an agar-agar?
Agar-agar is a vegetarian substitute for gelatin made from seaweed. It is commonly used in cooking and baking to thicken, stabilize, or set foods such as desserts, soups, and jams. Agar-agar is flavorless, odorless, and has stronger gelling properties than traditional animal-based gelatin.
A gelatinous carbohydrate obtained from seaweed?
Agar is derived from seaweed and is often used in Japanese desserts
From which organism agar agar is extracted?
Agar agar is extracted from red algae, specifically from the cell walls of species such as Gelidium, Gracilaria, and Pterocladia.
What is the material used as a base for bacterial culture media?
Agar is the material commonly used as the solidifying agent for bacterial culture media. It provides a solid surface for bacteria to grow on and is derived from seaweed. For liquid media, distilled water is typically used as the base.
Is there a microorganism that degrades Agar agar?
Yes, some marine bacteria and fungi have been identified to possess the capability to degrade agar agar. These microorganisms secrete enzymes such as agarases that breakdown agar into simpler sugars, which they can then use as a source of energy.
What brands contain Agar?
Agar or agar-agar is gelatin substances that can be obtain from algae. In culinary agar refers to a vegetable gelatin that is being used to make jellies, puddings, and custards products.
