Bio-Rad offers a wide selection of products for a variety of gel detection applications. For nucleic acid detection, fluorescent stains are available for both DNA and RNA detection.

Precast Agarose Gels
Precast Agarose Gels

ReadyAgarose™ gels are individually packaged precast agarose gels. The UV-transparent tray backing each ReadyAgarose gel locks into the Mini-Sub Cell GT and ReadySub-Cell GT electrophoresis chambers. These gels provide resolution of nucleic acids from 20 to 10,000 base pairs.
