FlashGel^® FLX Cassettes are precast gels for use with the FlashGel^® System. The FlashGel^® FLX Cassette supports the separation of either DNA or RNA, unlike standard FlashGel^® Cassettes. Band visualization is enabled through DNA- or RNA-specific stains included in the corresponding FlashGel^® FLX Prestain Loading Buffers. To separate DNA with FlashGel^® FLX Cassettes, use the FlashGel^® FLX DNA Prestain Loading Buffer (Cat. No. 316992) and to separate RNA, use the FlashGel^® FLX RNA Prestain Loading Buffer (Cat. No. 316992).

 

Additionally, FlashGel^® FLX Cassettes offer an extended shelf life compared to standard FlashGel^® Cassettes, enhancing convenience and flexibility in routine workflows. 

 

FlashGel^® FLX Cassettes are fully compatible with the existing FlashGel^® System. They provide additional flexibility and convenience to the fastest system for separating DNA and RNA and monitoring band migration in real time. This highly sensitive system allows a 5–20X reduction in sample size – saving both time and money – completing separations within 5 minutes.

 

Note that FlashGel^® FLX Cassettes are not recommended for recovery applications.
 

 

 

Optimal separation range: 

DNA: 100 bp – 10 kb separation range (separation of fragments >4kb will be improved by running longer at a lower voltage) 

 

RNA: 0.5 – 9 kb separation range

 

Well volume: 5 µL

Gel size: 70 mm (L) x 84 mm (W) x 2 mm (H)

Cassette size: 115 mm (L) x 107 mm (W) x 17 mm (H)
