Invitrogen E-Gel EX precast agarose gels are designed for ultrasensitive and convenient DNA and RNA sample electrophoresis in as little as 10 to 20 minutes. Each E-Gel agarose gel cassette contains all components and stain required for efficient gel separation and analysis–just load your samples and run. E-Gel agarose gels are ideal for analyzing PCR products, restriction digests, and plasmid preparations, or for DNA fragment library analysis. E-Gel agarose gels are also suitable for a quick check of RNA samples.

Features of E-Gel EX agarose gels include:

  • Instantaneous setup—precast E-Gel agarose gels are ready for use when you are, and do not require gel preparation or additional buffers
  • High sensitivity—detect 1 ng of sample DNA
  • Rapid analysis—complete DNA sample separation in 10–20 minutes
  • In-process control—view DNA sample migration in real time
  • Easy sample access—openable cassette design allows easy in-gel access for convenient DNA sample excision or transfer to membranes
  • For DNA and RNA—ideal for DNA sample analysis and suitable for quick check of RNA samples

Ultra-sensitive detection of DNA

E-Gel EX gels pre-stained with SYBR Gold DNA stain were developed for ultimate sensitivity and demonstrate up to 5-fold greater sensitivity than comparable gels containing ethidium bromide. This superior sensitivity allows you to use lower amounts of sample, saving time and money.

Fast and convenient analysis

E-Gel EX gels are our fastest-resolving agarose gels, enabling sample analysis in as little as 10–20 minutes. Each E-Gel agarose gel contains agarose, electrodes, SYBR Gold DNA stain, and a bufferless ion exchange system packaged inside a dry disposable cassette. E-Gel technology does not required any gel or buffer preparation or gel straining steps. Just load your samples and run.

Live monitoring of DNA migration

The E-Gel EX agarose gels are pre-stained with SYBR Gold II DNA gel stain with an excitation wavelength in the blue-light spectrum. When used on the E-Gel Power Snap Electrophoresis Device with integrated blue-light trans-illuminator, safe real-time monitoring of DNA or RNA migration is enabled without risk to eyes or possible damage of the sample, unlike UV illumination.

Quick check of RNA samples

Besides DNA analysis, E-Gel EX gels can also be used for fast analysis of RNA samples to check their integrity before proceeding with downstream applications.

Easy access to the gel

E-Gel cassettes are designed for convenient opening with a Gel Knife (Cat. No. EI9010), for easy excision of specific bands or transfer of the gel to a membrane for southern blot analysis.

Running and imaging devices

E-Gel EX gels require the Invitrogen E-Gel Power Snap Electrophoresis System for gel running and viewing. The system consists of an electrophoresis device and a camera for fast and convenient E-Gel agarose gel separation and analysis.

Available in a variety of gel formats

E-Gel agarose gels are available in variety of gel percentage, stain, and well formats. The 11-well E-Gel EX agarose gels are available in 1%, 2%, and 4% gel percentages.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

I am not seeing any current when I try to run my E-Gel EX agarose gels. Why is this?

Here are some common reasons why your gel is not running properly:

- Copper contacts in the base are damaged due to improper use. Make sure the copper contacts in the base are intact.
- An expired or defective gel cassette was used.
- The E-Gel EX cassette was not inserted properly into a base.
- An incorrect adaptor was used.

My E-Gel agarose gel has speckles when viewed in the imager. What should I do?

Here are some suggestions:

- Try cleaning the cassettes with alcohol and Kimwipes wipers.
- Try cleaning the camera lens.
- Try to adjust the exposure time and brightness options of the documentation system you are using.

My sample is leaking from the wells when running my E-Gel agarose gels. What happened?

Please ensure that you have not overloaded the well and that the wells were not damaged during comb removal.

I accidentally stored my E-Gel agarose gels at 4 degrees C instead of room temperature. Can I still use them?

While we recommend storage at room temperature, these gels will still be usable. Bring the gels to room temperature prior to the run for optimal conditions.

How can I get better separation of my bands?

First check the percentage of your agarose gel. A higher percentage will help you to resolve smaller molecular weights while a lower percentage will help you to resolve larger molecular weights.

SNP model development for the prediction of eye colour in New Zealand.
Authors:Allwood JS, Harbison S
Journal:Forensic Sci Int Genet
PubMed ID:23597786
'The ability to predict externally visible characteristics (EVCs) from DNA has appeal for use in forensic science, particularly where a forensic database match is not made and an eye witness account is unavailable. This technology has yet to be implemented in casework in New Zealand. The broad cultural diversity and ... More

Journal:New Phytol
PubMed ID:23278324
'Understanding how pathogens evolve according to pressures exerted by their plant hosts is essential for the derivation of strategies aimed at the durable management of resistant cultivars. The spectrum of action of the resistance factors in the partially resistant cultivars is thought to be an important determinant of resistance durability. ... More

'a-Isopropylmalate synthase (a-IPMS) is a multi-domain protein catalysing the condensation of a-ketoisovalerate (a-KIV) and acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA) to form a-isopropylmalate. This reaction is the first committed step in the leucine biosynthetic pathway in bacteria and plants, and a-IPMS is allosterically regulated by this amino acid.
