All Invitrogen precast protein gels are high-quality polyacrylamide gels designed to deliver excellent performance, reliability, and reproducibility. Our protein gels are offered in four different chemistries. Whether your protein is 2.5 kDa or as large as 500 kDa, or you’re looking for separation under native conditions or by isoelectric point—we have a solution for your application.
Exceptional protein gel electrophoresis is the cornerstone of a successful western blotting experiment. Invitrogen precast protein gels are offered in four different chemistries, allowing you to tailor the separation to your target protein's molecular weight. This helps obtain sharp, well-resolved bands, and results in efficient transfer and improved detection of your protein.

WedgeWell format wells are wedge-shaped wells that increase the sample loading capacity, allowing up to 100 µL of sample to be loaded in the well. The WedgeWell design was introduced in 2012 to increase the sample loading capacity of Invitrogen precast mini gels.
More than a thousand peer-reviewed articles demonstrate how WedgeWell format gels help produce publication-quality results and enable the study of low abundance proteins, reducing the need to enrich dilute samples before loading them onto the gel.
Midi gels with WedgeWell format wells allow the separation of up to 26 protein samples in the same run without compromising on sample loading volume.
Key benefits of WedgeWell format gels:
Available in three different gel chemistries:
All Invitrogen protein gels meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and consistency.

For separation of proteins under nondenaturing conditions or native page, three gel systems are recommended- NativePAGE Bis-Tris, Novex Tris-Glycine and NuPAGE Tris-Acetate. NativePAGE Bis-Tris gels, are based on the blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) which helps overcome the limitations of traditional native electrophoresis by providing a near-neutral operating pH and detergent compatibility. Both Novex Tris-Glycine and NuPAGE Tris-Acetate gels can be run under native and non-reducing conditions for separation of proteins by net charge, size and shape.
For separation of proteins by isoelectroctric point (pI), use Novex IEF gels. Novex IEF gels effectively create a pH gradient to separate proteins according to their unique pI.
NativePAGE Bis-Tris Gels | Isoelectric Focusing Gels | Novex Zymogram Gels | E-PAGE Precast Gels | |
Gel chemistry | Bis-Tris | pH 3–7, pH 3–10 | Tris-glycine with gelatin | 8% or 6% |
Protein sample type | 15–10,000 kDa | pI 3.5–8.5 | 10–220 kDa | 10–200 kDa |
Product benefits | Separation of native proteins, neutral pH for high sensitivity applications | Separation of proteins based on isoelectric point | Separation of proteins based on size and activity | High-throughput gel system, that eliminates the need for buffers |
