Wonderful

 

Average Rating 5.0

Wonderful and beneficial in laboratory analysis in research.

Review Date: 27 Sept 2023 | Bio-Rad

Painfully awful gels.

 

Average Rating 2.3

Application Area:

SDS-PAGE, blotting

Gels stick to membrane after transfer. Bio-Rad know that they are faulty (people from a different institute got replacements). After several emails they sent replacements and they are still faulty. Can't get clear blots from these horrible gels. Switching to Invitrogen.

Great bands using these gels

Western Blots

Great product! Easy to use and the blots are just beautiful. I got the nicest bands with these gels.

Application Area:

Analyse proteins in bacterial lysates

We have been ordering these precast gels for over 5 years in our lab as they save us a bit of time compared to making our own gels. Also, because the outer plates are disposable, we don't have to worry about risking breaking them, as with lab made gels which have fragile plates. There are cheaper precast gels out there but we have had the best results with these gels.

These gels are consistent, produce great bands and are easy to use.

Protein changes

I have used these gels for over 15 years & recommend for any western blot. High quality, reproducible results and easy to use.

Can't live without it.

Application Area:

Western blots of various cancer cell line lysates

Really easy to use. These gels are nice because the lane for the ladder is small but the wells hold 45uL as opposed to 30uL so that if you need to load more lysate than normal or the lysate is dilute. We also use the Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System. The transfer pads are a bit expensive but we are thinking about utilizing other transfer stacks to become more economical.

Use Criterion TGX Precast Protein Gels for the separation of polypeptides from ~4–300 kD. The novel formulation TGX (Tris-Glycine eXtended) Gels have a long shelf life and can be used for either denaturing SDS protein separations or native electrophoresis.

Bio-Rad offers a wide range of Criterion TGX Precast Protein Gels, including other 26-well gels in both single percentages and gradients.

Run 1–2 midi gels in 35 minutes using the Criterion Cell. For higher throughput, the Criterion Dodeca Cell can run up to 12 gels.

Features and Benefits

  • Can be used for denaturing electrophoresis with standard running buffer containing SDS
  • Laemmli-like separation in the presence of SDS
  • Run time as short as 20 min
  • Proteins retain native conformation and activity in the absence SDS
  • 12 month shelf life
