Contents of the combo kit

• Tetra Electrophoresis Primary Core (Cat. No. 1658037)
• Tetra Electrophoresis Companion Core (Cat. No. 1658038)
• 3 boxes of Bolt Bis-Tris Plus 4-12% gels (10 gels per box)

About the Tetra Electrophoresis Core Set

The Tetra Electrophoresis cores stand out due to their compatibility with all Invitrogen mini gels, allowing users to swap and run gels effortlessly while achieving high-performance results. When using both the primary and companion cores, up to four gels can be run simultaneously, which significantly increases throughput and efficiency. Additionally, the self-aligning cassettes and leak-proof design ensure stable and reliable electrophoresis runs, making experiment setup easy and fast.

The Tetra Electrophoresis Primary Core comes with the Tetra Buffer Dam (Cat. No. 1658039) for use when running only one gel. To run three or four gels at once, the Tetra Electrophoresis Companion Core is used alongside the Primary Core. This combination allows for the simultaneous running of multiple gels, further enhancing throughput and efficiency in your lab. The Companion Core works seamlessly with the Primary Core, providing a flexible solution for varying experimental needs.

This cost-effective solution eliminates the need for new electrophoresis equipment, saving costs while enhancing your lab's capabilities. The Tetra Electrophoresis Core Set is straightforward to use: simply swap the cores in your Bio-Rad Mini-PROTEAN Tetra system for the Invitrogen Tetra cores and use Invitrogen mini protein gels following their recommended protocols.

About Bolt Bis-Tris Plus Gels

Bolt Bis-Tris Plus gels are precast polyacrylamide gels designed for optimal broad range separation of proteins under denaturing conditions. Similar to NuPAGE Bis-Tris gels, Bolt Bis-Tris Plus gels offer excellent protein integrity with neutral pH, a wide range of molecular weight separation, fast run times of 20–35 minutes, and a long shelf life of up to 16 months at room temperature. Bolt Bis-Tris Plus gels also have the unique WedgeWell design that allows for easier sample loading and up to 2X more sample volume than other standard precast gels. Bolt Bis-Tris Plus gels come in four percentages and multiple well formats. Each box contains 10 gels.
