Running Buffers and Reagents

Reduce preparation time and eliminate a source of error by using Bio-Rad’s range of premixed protein electrophoresis running buffers. There are no reagents to weigh or filter; just dilute with distilled deionized water. A wide variety of premixed Tris buffers (such as Tris/glycine/SDS, Tris/glycine, and Tris/tricine/SDS) and high-purity, electrophoresis-grade powders (such as Tris, glycine, tricine, and urea) are available for protein electrophoresis and can be used with both handcast gels and precast gels.

Features and Benefits of Running Buffers and Reagents for Protein Electrophoresis

• Premixed buffers – all electrophoresis-purity reagents used are quality controlled for reproducible results; save preparation time while avoiding potential error due to incorrect buffer concentration
• Variety of sizes – electrophoresis running buffers and reagents are available in packages ranging from 250 ml bottles to 5 L cubes for different throughput needs
• Bulk 5 L boxes offer economy and convenience; the boxes feature easy-pouring spouts and are compact and stackable to save bench space
