EZ-Agarose Electrode Cap

Electrophoresis is a labor intensive multi-step procedure requiring gel casting, buffer preparation, and system assembly prior to running. With the introduction of precast gels, one step was eliminated. Now the EZ-gel system integrates a precast gel and running buffer into a simple, compact disposable cassette. You only need to load your samples and run. The EZ-gel system represents the culmination of technology development over the past 50 years! Convenient The buffer is preloaded and the gel is ready to use: load your samples and run. Extended Shelf Life New methods for gel preparation prolong the shelf life of EZ-Agarose gel to 18 months. High Performance All bands are uniformly bright and sharp: Small fragments are as bright as large ones. Simple System—Only Two Parts EZ-Agarose Mini Gel Cassette: UV transmittable, disposable cassette containing a precast gel and running buffer EZ-Agarose Electrode Cap: The electrode cap is reusable. Because the expensive electrode wires are installed on the cap, the gel cassette is disposable. Brilliant Results Small fragments shine as brightly as big ones In EZ-Agarose gels, ethidium bromide migrates from the bottom to the top of the gel during electrophoresis.As a result, even small fragments are clearly visible in EZ-Agarose gels unlike traditional agarose gel electrophoresis in which small molecular weight DNA bands are often too weakly stained to be detectable. EZ-Agarose Starting Package includes two 1.0% EZ-Agarose Mini Gel Cassettes (with a buffer-dam opener) and an EZ-Agarose Electrode Cap (with two color-coded power cables).
