Description
Bio-Rad's new 1D electrophoresis cell runs mini gels in less than an hour or 2D gels in less than a day.
First introduced over 20 years ago, the Bio-Rad mini-gel protein electrophoresis system has become the solution of choice around the world for both handcast and precast gel users. The Mini-PROTEAN® Tetra Cell delivers unparalleled ease-of-use with its patented clamping frame.
The Mini-PROTEAN Tetra cell is the next-generation mini cell for 1D vertical gel electrophoresis. This electrophoresis cell incorporates innovative, user-friendly features that make running protein or DNA on polyacrylamide gels easier than ever. The cell is durable, versatile, easy to assemble, and can run up to four precast or handcast polyacrylamide gels.
Key Features
• Runs 1-4 mini polyacrylamide gels in 30 min
• Exclusive sample-loading guides direct pipette tips into sample wells - no more missing or doubling up samples in a lane
• Leak-free electrophoresis and gel casting
• Indestructible molded polycarbonate construction throughout
• Ability to run either precast or handcast gels

MELISSA JAMES Status: See all reviews Member since 2013 Organization: ALBERT EINSTEIN COLLEGE OF MEDICINE Read more » | RATING: 4.0 
"The tetra cell allows you to run up to 4 gels in the same cell at the same time. This has been a very efficient system and saves on space and time. It is very convenient when running multiple gels."   |

"The Mini-Protean Tetra Cell provided by Bio-Rad is easy to use. The protein bands separated are clear. It is not time-consuming. The data produced each time is consistent. However, the price of the gels is a little high. I am not satisfied with the shipping fee." |

"Even though Western blotting is a long process with many steps, the Tetra system makes the tedious work easier. The system is easy to use when following the instructions. I would recommend this system to those who do a lot of westerns, but not for those using fixed concentration pre-cast gels." |

"Lovely modular system, can use pre-cast and make own gels. Easy to use- best system on the market. However it can leak so it is best to top up completely with buffer rather than to the suggested line. I would recommend it." |
