E-Gel SizeSelect II gels are double-comb, precast agarose gels with a twist. Load your sample into the top row and electrophorese until your band or desired size range enters the bottom row. Then, easily remove the size-selected DNA with a pipette. That’s it. No additional steps are required.

Use the Invitrogen E-Gel Power Snap System (G8300), a compact, self-contained device with a built-in power supply and blue-light transilluminator, to run and visualize E-Gel SizeSelect II agarose gels. Reverse-run functionality on the E-Gel Power Snap System (G8300) allows for capturing bands of interest even if you miss the bands when they first pass through the collection wells.

Have DNA ready for library construction 10x faster

The E-Gel SizeSelect gels allow users to separate and recover DNA for short read fragment library construction in just 15 minutes. That's 10 times faster than using conventional gels, and purification kits. E-Gel SizeSelect gels are offered in a 2% agarose concentration, and validated  for the recovery of fragments in the 150-200bp size range. Once the DNA is recovered, no additional purification step is required before proceeding to the next step in library construction. E-Gel SizeSelect system has been used successfully in these generation 2 library construction protocols:

  • ABI's SOLiD Fragment Library Construction
  • ABI's SOLiD Mate Pair Library Construction
  • Illumina's Genome Analyzer Fragment Library Construction
  • Illumina's Genome Analyzer Paired-end Library Construction
