Electrophoresis

The versatile, easy-to-use Mini-PROTEAN^® Tetra cell is ideal for vertical mini gel electrophoresis. This electrophoresis cell accommodates one to four Mini-PROTEAN precast or handcast gels, providing flexibility for your research needs. The Mini-PROTEAN Tetra cell eliminates tedious assembly procedures and has a patented sealing mechanism* that prevents assembly errors during handcasting.

Features and Benefits

• Run one to four precast or handcast mini gels in less than an hour
• Can also be used with the Mini Trans-Blot^® electrophoresis cell for western blotting
• Thermoplastic casting gaskets form a tight seal with the glass plates to ensure leak-free casting
• Casting frames** with simple cam closure provide precision alignment on any flat surface
• Side-by-side casting stand** allows access to both gels simultaneously, and a spring-loaded lever creates a tight seal against the thermoplastic rubber gasket
• 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
