Description
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. FlashGel® FLX Cassette specifications Optimal separation range: DNA: 100 bp – 10 kb separation range (separation of fragments >4kb will be improved by running longer at a lower voltage) RNA: 0.5 – 9 kb separation range Well volume: 5 µL Gel size: 70 mm (L) x 84 mm (W) x 2 mm (H) Cassette size: 115 mm (L) x 107 mm (W) x 17 mm (H) Available formats of FlashGel® FLX Cassettes Application Agarose Number of wells Tiers Catalog # DNA or RNA separation 1.2 % 12 + 1 Single-tier 00317258 1.2 % 16 + 1 Double-tier 00317259 2.2 % 12 + 1 Single-tier 00317260 2.2 % 16 + 1 Double-tier 00317281 Request More Info
