The E-gel Power Snap Plus is a compact benchtop instrument that performs gel electrophoresis and imaging. The E-gel system uses precast gels which eliminate the need to pour gels and are a safer alternative to ethidium bromide dye. The instrument can measure 2-3 ng of sample in less than 30 minutes. The E-gel system includes a detachable camera module which can be placed on the base for imaging and sample analysis.
The E-gel Power Snap Plus uses precast agarose gels, available in a variety of agarose percentages and well formats to suit your needs. Users must purchase their own gel and ladder for use with the instrument.
Check Thermo Fisher’s precast gel and ladder selection tool to choose the right gel and ladder for you.
For usage instructions, see the E-gel Power Snap Plus user manual.
The E-gel Power Snap Plus system is free to use for all BioGarage members.
