How to reduce electrophoresis times - Impatient me needs faster results (Feb/23/2011 )
Hi HomeBrew, Ameya,
I can't remember much about the exact price and unit (the sales talk to me very long time ago) but I do barely remember the price for 1 piece is around ~RM40 (~USD10), the system which include the visualizing box is sold separately.
According to this website:
http://www.westburg.eu/en/site/products/genomics-research/dna-gel-electrophoresis/lonza-flashgel-precast-gel-electrophoresis-systems/flashgel-dna/$29816
It is sold in the packet of 9.
Thanks adrian!

You are welcome, HomeBrew... let us know how you think after you had tried it out...

I'd appreciate it if you'd let us know... Looking over their web site, I had the sinking feeling it was one gel. The only indication I could find that it might not be was the description to the FlashGel DNA Starter Kit, which mentions it comes with "a pack of 1.2% DNA Cassettes"...
I got quotes from Lonza and Invitrogen (E gel system).
Lonza : ~ $ 1800
Invitrogen - $ 1300
These are for the complete kit to get me started... Stupid gels can't be visulaized on a normal transilluminator... now why would that be???

I am still waiting for their quotes on packs of 9 and 18... but at these rates of their starter kits... I cant hope for any relief. After speaking to my boss, I realized that the cost of running the usual agarose gels are as less $ 3
(that is rounding off to the NEXT INTEGER ) gt_ameya on Sat Mar 5 06:36:51 2011 said:

(that is rounding off to the NEXT INTEGER )You mean USD 3?
For my calculation, my gel is around RM4, (USD1)
And yet, I most of the time still recycle my agarose by remelting in microwave and add EtBr again...

Yes USD 3.
USD 1??? what agarose do you use? and what % gels?
I need 2.5% gels for most of my samples.
(With lots of hollow pride that means nothing
) I have never reused my gels... I use 1-1.5% of gell... guess the price is almost same after all... I use a local brand agarose from company Vivantis.
