Gels and Standards
Horizontal Electrophoresis Precast Gels
Choose from a variety of Precast ReadyAgarose gels in mini, wide, or 96-well DNA electrophoresis gels in 1% or 3% agarose, TBE or TAE buffer, with or without ethidium bromide formats.
Mini-PROTEAN TBE Precast Gels
Mini-PROTEAN TBE precast gels are suitable for electrophoresis of nucleic acids from 50 to 2,000 base pairs; they are ideal for analysis of the purity of PCR products, standard dsDNA analysis, and RNase protection assays.
Mini-PROTEAN TBE-Urea Precast Gels
Mini-PROTEAN TBE-Urea precast gels maintain denaturing conditions for analysis of single-stranded DNA and RNA. Nucleic acids between 60 and 200 bases are resolved as sharp, distinct bands.
-
Criterion TBE Precast Gels
TBE gels are suitable for electrophoresis of nucleic acids from 50 to 2,000 base pairs; they are ideal for evaluation of the purity of PCR products and standard DNA analyses.
Criterion TBE-Urea Precast Gels
TBE-urea gels maintain denaturing conditions for analysis of single-stranded DNA and RNA between 60 and 200 bases. Designed for the traditional 13.3 x 8.7 cm mini vertical format.
Nucleic Acid Rulers/Ladders
Nucleic acid standards include molecular rulers with evenly spaced banding patterns (DNA ladders), EZ Load standards premixed with loading buffer, and specialty products, such as pulsed field standards.
-
Buffers and Reagents
Nucleic Acid Buffers and Reagents
Nucleic acid electrophoresis buffers and reagents are available as individual reagents or as premixed buffers. Products include agarose powders and buffers for sample loading, gel casting, and electrophoresis.
-
