Ultra pure agarose - (Feb/04/2008 )

Hi everyone
I've been reading that the cheaper brands of agarose can contain impurities that will decrease cloning (mainly ligation) efficiency. Can anyone suggest a supplier of low melt high grade agarose?
thanks

I would suggest to buy from Seakem instead. They are one of the three main produces of agarose. And Seakem sells to Sigma, so you can get a better deal from Seakem.
