Efficient Protein Separation for Research LabsMini-PROTEAN TGX Precast Protein Gels streamline laboratory workflows with their ready-to-use design, delivering consistently sharp protein bands for SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Their compact 8.3 x 7.3 cm size fits perfectly into BioRad Mini-PROTEAN systems, allowing convenient setup and rapid separation of proteins within 35 minutes. These gels are ideal for routine and experimental protein analysis in research and diagnostic environments.
Advanced TGX Technology for Reliable ResultsFeaturing the innovative Tris-Glycine eXtended (TGX) chemistry, these precast gels offer extended shelf life and broad separation capabilities, ranging from 10-250 kDa. Researchers benefit from crisp band resolution, minimal preparation time, and compatibility with standard running buffers and protein ladders to support versatile protein analysis applications.
User-Friendly & Safe to HandleDesigned for portability and straightforward use, BioRad Mini-PROTEAN TGX Precast Gels require no complex assembly and pose no hazardous risks when used as directed. Store the gels at 2-8C for optimal performance, and enjoy up to 18 months of shelf life from the manufacture date-a reliable solution for both routine and time-sensitive experiments.
FAQ's of BioRad Mini-PROTEAN TGX Precast Protein Gels, 12%:
Q: How do I use BioRad Mini-PROTEAN TGX Precast Protein Gels for my SDS-PAGE experiments?
A: To use the gel, simply insert it into a BioRad Mini-PROTEAN electrophoresis tank, fill with Tris-Glycine buffer, load your protein samples and markers in the wells, and run the gel for approximately 35 minutes. No additional gel casting or assembly is required.
Q: What protein size range can be resolved with this 12% TGX gel?
A: This 12% gel efficiently separates proteins ranging from 10 to 250 kDa, making it suitable for various protein analysis applications in SDS-PAGE and Western blotting.
Q: When and how should I store the gels to maintain their performance?
A: Store the gels at 2-8C and avoid freezing. This will preserve their ready-to-use condition and help achieve crisp separation for up to 18 months from their manufacture date.
Q: Where can I find the lot number for quality tracking?
A: The lot number is printed directly on the gel packaging, facilitating batch tracking and ensuring traceability for quality assurance purposes.
Q: What benefits does TGX technology offer compared to standard gels?
A: TGX chemistry extends shelf life, improves band sharpness, and allows faster run times-streamlining your laboratory workflow while delivering reliable separation and reproducibility.
Q: Are these gels compatible with standard protein ladders and running buffers?
A: Yes, these gels are fully compatible with common protein ladders and Tris-Glycine running buffers, allowing seamless integration into existing protocols and minimizing the need for specialized reagents.
Q: What safety precautions should I follow when using these gels?
A: These gels are considered non-hazardous when used as instructed. Standard laboratory safety practices for handling electrophoresis equipment and reagents are recommended.
