Gel Electrophoresis
Gel electrophoresis is a method of separating marcomoelcules by fragment length (e.g., DNA and RNA) or by charge or size (e.g., protein) using an electric field and a gel matrix. Specific dyes and / or stains are used to mark the molecules of interest.
Gel Analysis with Logger Pro
Logger Pro provides students with a fast, easy way to document and analyze digital gel images. Using a photo taken with a ProScope HR, your own digital camera, or just by inserting a photo from a file, Logger Pro helps your students create a standard curve and calculate the number of base pairs (molecular weight) for each experimental band in just a few minutes.
Gel Imaging with Vernier Bioimaging Systems
Our affordable Bioimaging Systems allow your students to illuminate gels and capture the image digitally on a computer.
Vernier offers two methods; one using a fluorescent nucleic acid stain that is imaged with the Blue Digital Bioimaging System and the other using Fast Blast DNA Stain that is able to be visualized with the White Digital Bioimaging System.
