We do offer disposable, empty plastic cassettes and combs to provide the option of pouring your own Mini or Midi gels for use with the XCell SureLock Mini-Cell, Mini Gel Tank, or XCell4 SureLock Midi-Cell, respectively. All cassettes are sealed on three sides to prevent leaking. Since the cassettes are pre-sealed with the slot pre-taped, a bulky casting stand is not necessary. The empty cassettes and combs can be found here (https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/protein-biology/protein-gel-electrophoresis/power-supplies-protein-electrophoresis.html#staining).
