Vertical Midi Gel System: Regular model is a product by Genei for performing SDS PAGE. Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is a protein separation and characterization technique. The technique allows the resolution of proteins based on their mass under the influence of an electric field. SDS PAGE uses a polyacrylamide gel as the medium for the separation of proteins. The SDS imparts a uniform negative charge to all the proteins and upon application of an electric field across the gel, the proteins migrate towards the anode and separate in the gel matrix solely according to their molecular weights. The Vertical Midi Gel System: Regular model by Genei contains all the required apparatus to perform SDS PAGE. the Midi model allows the user to make a gel of size 16*14 sq. cm. for performing conventional electrophoresis. The apparatus is made of acrylic material and is designed for facilitating quick protein separation while maintaining high resolution.
