Criterion Cell

The Criterion™ cell is a midi electrophoresis cell dedicated to running one or two Criterion gels, which are wider and longer than traditional mini gels. With a single Criterion gel, you can run up to 26 samples in less than 1 hr or accommodate 11 cm ReadyStrip™ IPG strips for 2-D applications. The Criterion cell accommodates Criterion precast or handcast gels.

Features and Benefits

• Compact size requires only 1 L running buffer
• Integrated cassette buffer chamber simplifies assembly and ensures that the system will never leak
• Safe, easy-to-open cassettes use a built-in wedge on the lid to open gel cassettes in a single step
• Locator slots built into the tank walls allow users to easily and quickly slide cassettes into position
• Ability to separate more samples in fewer runs and resolve more proteins
• Run 2-D gels in less than a day

Applications and Uses

• Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE or SDS-PAGE)
• 2-D gel electrophoresis
• Screen new samples
• Evaluate sample preparation conditions
