Bio-Rad Criterion Electrophoresis Cell

The Bio-Rad Criterion Electrophoresis Cell is a specialized midi electrophoresis cell engineered to accommodate one or two Criterion gels, offering larger dimensions compared to traditional mini gels. This apparatus enables the analysis of up to 26 samples within an hour, or the use of 11 cm ReadyStrip IPG strips for two-dimensional applications. It is compatible with both Criterion precast and handcast gels.

• Compact design only needs 1 L running buffer.
• Integrated cassette buffer chamber simplifies and ensures leak-free assembly.
• Safe cassettes with a built-in wedge on the lid for single-step opening.
• Locator slots in tank walls facilitate the quick and easy positioning of cassettes.
• Increases sample throughput and enhances protein resolution.
• Executes 2-D gel electrophoresis in less than a day.
