Bio-Rad Mini-Sub Cell GT Electrophoresis System

System consists of:

Bio-Rad Mini-Sub Cell GT Electrophoresis Cell

Bio-Rad PowerPac HV High-Voltage Power Supply

Mini-Sub Cell GT:
Bio-Rad offers a range of mini horizontal electrophoresis chambers to resolve DNA fragments on either handcast agarose gels or ReadyAgarose precast gels. These cells include a buffer tank, safety lid with cables, and leveling bubble.

Fast and flexible, the Mini-Sub cell GT cell is our most popular classroom gel box. The Mini-Sub cell GT cell holds either a 7 x 7 cm or a 7 x 10 cm gel tray. A 10 cm agarose gel poured with two 8-well combs easily accommodates two student teams at a time. At 100 V, this cell resolves DNA fragments from 20–20,000 base pairs in just under 30 min.
