Introduction
E-Gel® Electrophoresis System
Introduction
The E-Gel® agarose gel electrophoresis system is a complete bufferless system
for agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA samples.
The major components of the system are:
•
E-Gel® pre-cast agarose gels
•
Electrophoresis bases
E-Gel® pre-cast agarose gels are self-contained gels that include electrodes
packaged inside a dry, disposable, UV-transparent cassette. The E-Gel® agarose
gels run in a specially designed device that is a base and power supply
combined into one device (two bases are available for running E-Gels, the new
iBase™ system and the original, economical E-Gel® Powerbase™).

Capacity
Using E-Gel® agarose gels for electrophoresis of DNA samples offer the
following advantages:
•
Provides fast, safe, consistent, high-resolution electrophoresis
•
Eliminates the need to prepare agarose gels and buffers, and to stain gels
•
Compatible with most commercially available robotic systems for
high-throughput agarose gel electrophoresis
•
Available in a variety of agarose percentages, well formats, and throughput
capacities to suit your applications
•
Offered with a number of different DNA gel stains to accommodate your
application
•
Includes E-Gel® CloneWell™ and E-Gel® SizeSelect™ gels, to accelerate and
simplify DNA gel purification and improve cloning results
Three categories of E-Gel® agarose electrophoresis systems are available from
Invitrogen based on your throughput requirements.
•
Low-Throughput E-Gel® Electrophoresis System designed for
electrophoresis of 8–16 DNA samples per gel.
•
Medium-Throughput E-Gel® Electrophoresis System designed for
electrophoresis of 48 DNA samples per gel. This system is compatible for
use with multichannel pipettors or automated liquid handling systems.
•
High-Throughput E-Gel® Electrophoresis System is designed for
electrophoresis of 96 DNA samples per gel. This system is compatible for
use with multichannel pipettors or automated liquid handling systems.
