Electrophoresis and Molecular Biology

Electrophoresis is a process that enables lab professionals to isolate organic molecules and research them as part of biomedical analysis. Below, we review just a few of the many exciting applications for electrophoresis.

One of the more commonly utilized processes in laboratories around the world is electrophoresis, but a lot of people still have questions about the process and how it works. Electrophoresis is a complicated process, but it’s essential to laboratory research. Continue reading to find out more about electrophoresis and the importance of using the right electrophoresis equipment.

Labnet International is proud to be on the cutting edge of modern laboratory equipment and technology. This month, we are adding new ENDURO™ gel documentation systems to our popular molecular biology product line. Find out more about the new ENDURO™ GDS II and GDS Touch II Gel Documentation Systems that you can get from Labnet International.

Labnet International specializes in the delivery of a wide range of laboratory equipment, including our ENDURO™ molecular biology product line. Labs that conduct electrophoresis trust our products to deliver consistent cycles and accurate controls that promote reliable results. 
For molecular biology labs that are looking for quality equipment, we recommend our ENDURO™ Horizontal Electrophoresis Systems. 

In the lab, you often have to juggle different priorities to ensure things run smoothly. From the safety of your lab technicians to the performance of your lab equipment, there are many things to consider. 

PCR, or polymerase chain reaction, is a common technique used in research labs that deal with DNA, allowing researchers and technicians to replicate a single DNA sample millions of times over. This of course promotes the effective analysis and research of particular DNA sections. The technique was developed in the 1980s, but in that short amount of time it has already contributed to a myriad of research accomplishments.

In the short 15 years since the complete sequencing of the human genome in 2003, great strides have been made in establishing correlation and causation in the relationship between our genes and our health. It took over a Billion dollars and 13 years to sequence the human genome for the first time. In the early days, it still cost tens of millions and took months to have an individual’s genes sequenced. Here we are in 2018, and we are exchanging gifts of DNA mapping kits to discover medical information and ethnic heritage.

Advances in Electrophoresis are constantly expanding the field of protein analysis. Labnet International is supporting the industry every step of the way with the full line of ENDURO™ equipment bringing the latest innovations to the bench. 

When Labnet International launched our Electrophoresis and Molecular Biology product line back in 2002, it included a single Horizontal Gel Electrophoresis unit. Labnet has since expanded the product line to include more than 30 electrophoresis products, plus a host of Electrophoresis product accessories.
