Biometra Multigel Family Vertical gel electrophoresis systems - ideal for higher sample throughput
- Excellent separation results
- Userfriedly handling
- Integrated cooling option
The Biometra Multigel product family includes 3 different double-gel models for gel-based high-resolution protein and nucleic acid electrophoresis.
Specially designed for everyday laboratory work, the systems are made of robust, high-quality acrylic glass and the simple operating concept enables a quick and intuitive setup.
In order to perform electrophoresis experiments at higher currents without smiling effects, controlled temperature conditions are required. This could be realized by the integrated cooling system. Moreover, the longer separation distances in combination with the effective cooling are perfect to achieve excellent separation and high resolution, and also allows the separation of native proteins.
- Large variety of double-gel systems
- Glass plates with fixed glass spacers
- Multichannel pipette compatible combs

Polyacrylamide Gel ElectrophoresisMultigel
The double-gel design permits rapid separation of up to 24 samples per gel (48 samples total). One or two gel operation is possible. Thanks to the builtin water cooling option the Multigel is also suited for native gels.
Multigel-Long
The double-gel design permits rapid separation of up to 24 samples per gel (48 samples total). One or two gel operation is possible. The built-in water cooling option allows temperature controlled runs preventing smiling effects at higher currents. The longer separation distance in combination with the effective cooling systems is ideally suited for SSCP analysis. Both Multigel and Multigel-Long offer microtiter plate compatible / multichannel pipette compatible combs.
Maxigel
The Maxigel double-gel design features back-to-back vertical gels, each separating up to 45 samples (90 samples total). One or two gel operation is possible. The built-in water cooling option and long running distance are perfect to achieve excellent separation and high resolution. The Maxigel is used for large sample volumes, e. g. if prior concentration of the sample is not possible. Applications include separation of specific proteins from complex mixtures (antibody production, enzyme kinetics or toxicology studies) and native or SDS-PAGE gels. The Maxigel is the system of choice where long running distance, high resolution or larger sample volumes are an issue.
Universal Glass Plate Stand
This stand with levelling feet can be used in combination with any gel size of Biometra slabgels. For casting up to 4 gels can be placed in the stand
