FlashGel® FLX Cassettes

Catalog No : 00317281

FlashGel® FLX Cassettes, 2.2% 16+1 double tier, 9 pack

Ideal for testing up to 32 samples with small DNA fragments (e.g., PCR products).

Separation range for DNA: 20 bp – 1 kb

Product Overview

 

FlashGel® FLX Cassettes are precast gels for use with the FlashGel® System. The FlashGel® FLX Cassette supports the separation of either DNA or RNA, unlike standard FlashGel® Cassettes. Band visualization is enabled through DNA- or RNA-specific stains included in the corresponding FlashGel® FLX Prestain Loading Buffers. To separate DNA with FlashGel® FLX Cassettes, use the FlashGel® FLX DNA Prestain Loading Buffer (Cat. No. 316992) and to separate RNA, use the FlashGel® FLX RNA Prestain Loading Buffer (Cat. No. 316993).

 

Additionally, FlashGel® FLX Cassettes offer an extended shelf life compared to standard FlashGel® Cassettes, enhancing convenience and flexibility in routine workflows. 

 

FlashGel® FLX Cassettes are fully compatible with the existing FlashGel® System. They provide additional flexibility and convenience to the fastest system for separating DNA and RNA and monitoring band migration in real time. This highly sensitive system allows a 5–20X reduction in sample size – saving both time and money – completing separations within 5 minutes.

 

Note that FlashGel® FLX Cassettes are not recommended for recovery applications.
