For other electrophoresis cell configurations, purchase the Mini-PROTEAN Tetra cell (catalog #165-8004) and a casting module with the appropriate well type and thickness.
For Ready Gel precast gel applications, order only the Mini-PROTEAN Tetra cell (165-8004).
Accessories and Replacement Parts
Combs — A variety of comb styles are available, including 5, 9, 10, and 15-well formats. The prep/2-D comb contains a reference well, and the IPG comb is designed to accommodate a 7 cm ReadyStrip IPG strip. These combs fit both Mini-PROTEAN Tetra and Mini-PROTEAN 3 cells.
Plates for Hand Casting — To hand cast a gel, you need a short plate and a spacer plate. You do not need to order spacer separately; simply select the spacer plate that has the spacer width you need. (Spacer plates contain spacers already joined to the plate.) The short plates and the spacer plates fit both Mini-PROTEAN Tetra and Mini-PROTEAN 3 cells.
Replacement Parts — Replacement parts are available for the Mini-PROTEAN Tetra cell, should you ever need them. Also available are casting accessories and sample loading guides.
