Description

The Criterion™ cell is a midi electrophoresis cell dedicated to running one or two Criterion gels, which are wider and longer than traditional mini gels. With a single Criterion gel, you can run up to 26 samples in less than 1 hr or accommodate 11 cm ReadyStrip™ IPG strips for 2-D applications. The Criterion cell accommodates Criterion precast or handcast gels.

Features and Benefits

  • Compact size requires only 1 L running buffer
  • Integrated cassette buffer chamber simplifies assembly and ensures that the system will never leak
  • Safe, easy-to-open cassettes use a built-in wedge on the lid to open gel cassettes in a single step
  • Locator slots built into the tank walls allow users to easily and quickly slide cassettes into position
  • Ability to separate more samples in fewer runs and resolve more proteins
  • Run 2-D gels in less than a day

Applications and Uses

  • Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE or SDS-PAGE)
  • 2-D gel electrophoresis
  • Screen new samples
  • Evaluate sample preparation conditions
