What characteristic of agarose makes it useful for electrophoresis?
It is more dense than water and an electrical current can pass through it.
The agarose gel contains microscopic pores which act as molecular sieves. The sieving properties of the gel influences the rate at which molecules migrate.
It is jelly like and clear so that you can see your molecules move through it.
