Description

FuturePAGE™ Precast Protein Gels are polyacrylamide electrophoresis gels designed for the separation of a wide range of protein sizes. They are available in 12-well and 15-well formats, with large sample loading capacities—up to 50 µL per well for the 12-well format and 30 µL per well for the 15-well format.

Produced using automated gel-casting technology, FuturePAGE™ gels ensure excellent batch-to-batch consistency and superior quality. The unique gel buffer formula delivers sharper bands and higher resolution, while the neutral pH prevents protein re-modification during electrophoresis, thereby improving protein stability and gel performance.

Compared with traditional hand-cast gels, FuturePAGE™ Precast Protein Gels offer the following advantages:

Easy to use: Ready-to-use format saves preparation time.
Safe and reliable: Eliminates the need to handle toxic reagents.
Accurate and reproducible results: Automated casting technology ensures consistent quality and experimental reproducibility.
