Integrated nucleic acid electrophoresis and gel imaging systems

Nucleic acid electrophoresis is a standard laboratory technique that underpins molecular biology research. Traditionally, gel electrophoresis takes a lot of time and involves casting the gel, making buffers, preparing samples and ladders, loading and running the gel, as well as visualizing and imaging the result. The simple three-step workflow of an E-Gel electrophoresis system streamlines the DNA/RNA electrophoresis process, saving time in the lab: no more pouring gels, making buffers, or handling of toxic dyes.


The E-Gel Precast Gel Electrophoresis System three-step workflow

E-Gel Precast Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Systems include electrophoresis devices, cameras for image capture, precast gels, ladders, and loading buffer designed to work together to simplify your nucleic acid electrophoresis workflow.

The three-step workflow is easy and convenient:

  1. Load
  2. Run
  3. Analyze

Electrophoresis is performed in the absence of liquid buffer, saving time and hassle in the lab.
