Vertical Electrophoresis Cells & Protein Gel Systems

High-Resolution Protein Separation Solutions

In proteomics and molecular biology, the quality of your Western blot or downstream analysis relies entirely on a flawless initial gel separation. As a specialized manufacturer of life science instruments, WIX Technology designs vertical electrophoresis cells that deliver sharp, straight, and reproducible protein bands. Built from high-quality, injection-molded polycarbonate, our tanks are highly durable, chemically resistant, and capable of withstanding the rigors of daily laboratory use.

Key Features of WIX Vertical Electrophoresis Tanks

We understand the common pain points researchers face at the bench. Our vertical systems are engineered to provide a seamless user experience:

• Leak-Free Gel Casting: Our innovative casting stands and specialized sealing pads ensure a tight, leak-proof seal during the pouring of polyacrylamide gels, saving you valuable time and expensive reagents.

• Pure Platinum Electrodes: We utilize high-purity platinum wire to guarantee optimal conductivity and a uniform electrical field across the entire gel, completely eliminating the “smiling effect” on your protein bands.

• Efficient Cooling Design: Many of our vertical cells feature integrated cooling cores or buffer volume optimization. This prevents overheating during high-voltage runs, protecting heat-sensitive proteins and preventing gel distortion.

• Universal Compatibility: Designed to accommodate both hand-cast gels and popular pre-cast gels, offering maximum flexibility for your specific laboratory protocols.

Versatile Formats for Every Application

Whether you are teaching in a university lab or conducting advanced research in a biotech facility, we offer the right format for your throughput needs:

WIX Mini vertical electrophoresis tanks WIX-miniPRO and WIX-easyPRO are compatible with hand cast gels and pre-cast gels with max size 10*8 cm, like Bio-Rad mini-PROTEAN TGX. WIX-mulitiPRO is are compatible with hand cast gels and pre-cast gels with max size 10*10 cm, like mini precast gel of ThermoFisher NuPage, ThermoFisher Novex and Bio-Rad mini-PROTEAN TGX.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are your vertical electrophoresis cells compatible with pre-cast gels?

Yes, our mini vertical electrophoresis systems are highly compatible with most mini precast gels from major global life science brands, as well as hand-cast gels using our included glass plates and combs.

Q: How do you prevent gel leakage during the gel casting process?

A: With superior hand cast gels accessories of TPU sealing gaskets, gel base and gel casting frames, creating a perfectly tight seal at the bottom to prevent gel leakage.

Q: Can I use these tanks for Western Blot transfers?

A: Our vertical electrophoresis tanks are specifically designed for the running (separation) phase of proteins. For the subsequent wet transfer, the transfer electrode assemble can often be seamlessly swapped into our dedicated vertical electrophoresis tanks, or you can use our Fast Blotter for rapid results.
