Product description

Vertical slab electrophoresis system for SDS-PAGE, native PAGE, and 2-D electrophoresis with cooling and multi-gel capacity.

The Bio-Rad PROTEAN® II xi Cell is a versatile vertical slab electrophoresis system designed for the separation and analysis of proteins and nucleic acids. This instrument accommodates various electrophoretic techniques, including SDS-PAGE, native PAGE, and two-dimensional (2-D) electrophoresis, making it indispensable in proteomics and molecular biology research.

Key features:

  • Flexible gel capacity: Capable of running up to four slab gels or 16 tube gels simultaneously, enhancing throughput for large-scale studies.
  • Central cooling core: Ensures uniform heat distribution across the gel, minimising band distortion and improving resolution.
  • Single-screw sandwich clamps: Facilitate rapid and even assembly of gel sandwiches, reducing the risk of glass plate breakage.
  • Compatibility with 2-D electrophoresis: With optional tube adaptors, the system supports first-dimension isoelectric focusing (IEF) tube gels, seamlessly integrating with second-dimension SDS-PAGE for comprehensive protein analysis.

The PROTEAN II xi Cell is widely utilised in fields such as proteomics, molecular biology, and biotechnology. It is commonly found in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and biopharmaceutical companies, where precise protein separation is critical for applications like protein profiling, biomarker discovery, and quality control in biomanufacturing.

Introduced in the early 2000s, the PROTEAN II xi Cell remains relevant in modern laboratories due to its reliability and adaptability to various electrophoretic applications.

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.
