Product description

Compact vertical electrophoresis system for simultaneous mini gel runs; supports precast and handcast gels.

The Bio-Rad Mini-PROTEAN® Tetra Cell is a compact, vertical electrophoresis system designed for the efficient separation of proteins and nucleic acids. This instrument allows researchers to cast and run one or two mini gels simultaneously, accommodating both precast and handcast polyacrylamide gels.

Key features include:

  • Versatile gel compatibility: Supports Mini-PROTEAN® and Ready Gel® precast gels, as well as handcast gels, providing flexibility for various experimental needs.
  • User-friendly design: Incorporates a patented sealing mechanism that simplifies assembly and prevents errors during handcasting.
  • Efficient operation: Typical run times for SDS-PAGE are between 35–45 minutes at 200 V constant, facilitating rapid results.
  • Comprehensive system components: Includes a tank, lid with power cables, electrode assembly, casting stand, casting frames, glass plates, combs, and gel spacers, ensuring a complete setup for immediate use.

This electrophoresis system is widely utilised in molecular biology, biochemistry, and biotechnology research for applications such as protein separation, Western blotting, and nucleic acid analysis. It is commonly found in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and biopharmaceutical companies. The Mini-PROTEAN® Tetra Cell has been a staple in laboratories since its introduction and continues to be relevant in 2025, reflecting Bio-Rad's commitment to providing reliable and innovative tools for the scientific community.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
