Precast agarose gels for high-resolution nucleic acid separation
Product Overview
Biofargo precast, pre-stained agarose gels with GelRed® DNA gel stain are designed for fast, convenient, and safer DNA electrophoresis. Each mini-gel is factory cast in TAE with GelRed® premixed—no pouring, no staining, no post-stain. Just load your samples and run.
What you get:
Every 10-gel pack includes free DNA loading buffer, your choice of DNA marker (ladder), and TAE instant granules (2 sticks, makes 2 L). Gels are available in 0.8–2.0% agarose (custom 0.75–2.5% on request) and multiple well counts to fit common mini gel chambers.

Features & Benefits
-
High efficiency — Save time, load and run immediately
- No gel casting, no staining, no post-stain
- One-step workflow → unwrap, load, electrophorese
- Familiar electrophoresis protocol with rapid results
-
Safer DNA visualization
- Uses GelRed® — non-toxic, non-mutagenic, safer than EtBr
- No handling of concentrated dye → reduced exposure risk
- Environment-friendly and lowers disposal cost
-
High sensitivity & sharp band resolution
- Detect low-ng DNA with clear, bright signals
- Most accurate sizing and defined DNA bands
- Enhanced sensitivity achievable with NaCl supplementation
-
Convenient & flexible use
- Empty wells can be reused — re-run loading possible
- Staining matrix is stable and can be imaged multiple times
- Staining solution can be re-used when applicable
-
Complete electrophoresis bundle
- Includes buffer, ladder, and TAE powder — no extra purchase needed
- Available 0.8%–2.0% standard, custom 0.75%–2.5% on request
- Fits most mini gel electrophoresis chambers
-
Consistent & reliable performance
- Automated casting ensures lot-to-lot reproducibility
- High clarity, low background, uniform migration
- Suitable for PA gel staining penetration efficiency
Application
- High-resolution separation of DNA and RNA fragments
- PCR product verification
- Restriction digest confirmation
- Plasmid prep and cloning workflow QC
- DNA fragment sizing and band intensity comparison
- Suitable for direct electrophoresis in-tray — no gel transfer required
- Re-run or use empty lanes when sample capacity is needed
The low-background GelRed® formulation ensures bright, sharp bands, enabling accurate visualization even at low input concentration.

Shipping & Storage
- 📦 Precast Gel Kit: 2–8 °C · Shelf life: 6 months
- 🧪 6× DNA Loading Buffer: 2–8 °C (short term) / −20 °C (long term) · 12 months
- ⚖️ TAE Instant Granules: RT (15–25 °C) or −20 °C · 24 months
- 🧬 DNA Marker (Ladder): −20 °C (long term; 2–8 °C short term OK) · 12 months
Avoid repeated freeze–thaw for the loading buffer and marker; aliquot after first use.
Usage Notes
- Higher sensitivity: GelRed® (high-molecular-weight dye) delivers up to ~8× the sensitivity of EtBr (depends on gel/imaging setup), allowing lower sample loads and sharper bands.
- Routine checks: For Biofargo pre-stained gels, load 50–100 ng DNA per lane or 1–2 µL PCR product.
- Unknown concentration: Start with ~1/5 to 1/3 of the DNA you would load on an EtBr gel; adjust based on signal.
-
When loading more DNA (e.g., for gel extraction):
- Run at lower voltage to reduce band distortion/saturation.
- After excision, fully dissolve the gel (extend melting time as needed) to help ensure high recovery.
- Avoid repeated freeze–thaw of samples; if bands saturate, reduce load or exposure time.
