Product news

Electrophoresis specialists CLEAVER SCIENTIFIC (CSL) have introduced a new range of 10 x 10cm Precast Gels which are ideally suited to all SDS-PAGE applications. PAGE-PRO Precast gels provide fast run times from 45 to 75 minutes and a superior performance compared to traditional Laemmli gels.

PAGE-PRO gels have a specially formulated proprietary gel matrix composition which ensures their enhanced performance and a guaranteed shelf-life of a minimum of 12 months.

Available in single and gradient percentage acrylamide compositions, PAGE-PRO gels are manufactured using an automated filling technique that ensures total reproducibility between batches. They can also be used with standard Tris-MOPS, Tris-HEPES and Tris Tricine SDS running buffers and are suitable for use with Cleaver Scientific’s omniPAGE mini vertical electrophoresis and blotting systems.

They are available in 10 (30µL per well) and 15 well (15µ per well) formats and are compatible with most apparatus, including the XCell SureLock™ precast gel systems. Optional sample kits are available, containing sample and running buffers and PAGE-PRO colorimetric stain that develops protein gels within 15 minutes.

To enable users to test the benefits of PAGE-PRO precast gels, Cleaver Scientific are offering FREE sample gels to try.

ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis equipment is used to separate mixtures of protein, DNA or RNA, based on their electric charge, size and other physical characteristics, by passing them through a medium such as a polyacrylamide gel, an agarose gel or a capillary tube. Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners. Find the best electrophoresis equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Blotting
