A Great Tool for Gene Cloning, GelX Tips

Rapid, precise and contamination-free excision of spots and bands from gels is now a reality thanks to GelX, a new range of disposable gel excision tips recently introduced by electrophoresis specialists CLEAVER SCIENTIFIC.

GelX tips are designed to provide a cleaner, simpler and quicker method of removing bands from agarose and protein gels without the need for scalpels. GelX tips allow complete single handed operation throughout the gel excision process through ‘Press and Go’ gel band excision, push button gel release and push button tip release.

Users simply fit the GelX tip to a 1000 µl pipette, select the gel band, then press the tip into the gel. The gel slice is neatly extracted and contained into the tip. It can then simply be ejected into a tube or other container. The used tip can then be ejected and disposed of.

GelX tips are autoclavable and DNase and RNase free. Also, sterilised versions are also available. The tips can be purchased in packs of 250 either bagged or racked and in two sizes, 4mm x 1mm or 6.5mm x 1mm.
