Precast Gels

Ready-to-use precast gels are available from several suppliers for electrophoresis applications. Precast gels are pre-prepared solid gels comprised generally of polymerized acrylamide or agarose. The crosslinked semi-porous nature of gels enables complex molecules (including proteins and nucleic acids) to traverse in a size-dependent manner. In addition to the time-saving convenience of using ready-made gels, precast gels can help ensure consistency in the preparation of electrophoresis-based experiments.
