Can I autoclave agarose to prepare agarose gels?

No. Autoclaving at temperatures that are too high or pressures that are too high can hydrolyze the agarose polymer and weaken it.

Do you have any tips for preparing high-percentage (3% to 4%) agarose gels?

Add the powder to cold buffer while stirring. Let the agarose rehydrate for 1 to 2 hr and then heat slowly until agarose is completely dissolved. Using a microwave at low power settings is acceptable.

What can I do to prevent static on agarose bottles?

One recommendation: get a supply of fabric softener sheets and wipe the bottle with a sheet before opening it.
