Mini-Sub^® Cell GT Cell

Horizontal mini cells offer speed, simplicity, and economy. The wide mini cells are best suited for multiple-sample and rapid-screening DNA electrophoresis applications.

Wide Mini-Sub Cell GT Cell

The wide Mini-Sub cell GT cell is suited for multiple-sample, rapid-screening applications. This popular DNA electrophoresis system has a wide platform that can separate 30 samples per comb.

Sub-Cell^® GT Cell

The Sub-Cell GT cell is the most versatile of the submerged horizontal DNA electrophoresis cells in the Sub-Cell family, offering the greatest choice of gel lengths, sample combs, and separation modes.

Sub-Cell^® Model 96 Cell

The Sub-Cell Model 96 cell was developed specifically for multiple samples/high-throughput analysis. Cell and combs are designed for use with multichannel pipets to expedite DNA gel electrophoresis.

Sub-Cell^® Model 192 Cell

The Sub-Cell Model 192 offers the highest capacity of our DNA electrophoresis cells. Compatible with multichannel pipets, this cell accommodates gels up to 25 cm long.

ReadyAgarose^™ Precast Gel System

Precast ReadyAgarose gels are compatible with Mini-Sub cell GT and wide Mini-Sub cell GT electrophoresis cells. Choose from mini, wide, or 96-well DNA electrophoresis gels in 1% or 3% agarose, TBE or TAE buffer, with or without ethidium bromide.
