Pre-cast agarose gelcassettes for DNA size selection
Gel cassettes for DNA selections are available in four agarose concentrations to provide a full range of size selection options between 100bp and 1.5kb. For smaller fragment sizes, internal standards may be used for higher accuracy and increased sample capacity (from 4 to 5 samples per cassette). Run times are as little as 30 minutes. View the Pippin Prep cassette reference chart to explore the DNA size selection options and run times.
Gel cassette types and target ranges:
- 3% agarose, 100-250bp
- 2% agarose, 100-600bp
- 1.5% agarose, 250bp – 1.5kb
