Description
The TGX FastCast acrylamide gel kit is an economical and user-friendly solution for beginners looking to start Stain-Free polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and imaging. The premixed TGX (Tris-Glycine eXtended) acrylamide/bis-acrylamide solutions are designed for easy hand casting of 10% polyacrylamide stain-free enables gels (11 Mini and 7 Midi-sized), offering Laemmli-like protein separation using a standard Tris-glycine running buffer. With a long shelf life of up to 4 weeks for cast gels, and rapid protein separation in just 20 minutes, this kit streamlines lab workflows. Integrated stain-free technology enables fast, dye-free protein visualization in under 5 minutes using Bio-Rad’s stain-free imaging systems.
TGX Stain-Free FastCast acrylamide starter kit is ideal for:
- Faster Workflow – The TGX Stain-Free FastCast gels polymerize quickly and enable electrophoresis and transfer in as little as 20 and 3 minutes, respectively
- Long Shelf Life – Gels remain stable for up to four weeks at 4°C
- Stain-Free Imaging Enabled – Built-in stain-free technology allows for rapid protein visualization without staining or destaining steps
- Improved Data Accuracy – Stain-free imaging enables total protein normalization for more reliable quantification and molecular weight estimation
- High-Quality Separation – The 7.5% gel formulation is optimized for resolving high-molecular-weight proteins with robust separations
