Gel-X Excision Tips offer a convenient and efficient one handed method of removing bands using a simple and rapid two-step process. The tips, in two sizes, 4.0 x 1mm and 6.5 x 1mm, cut directly into agarose or acrylamide gels, so eliminating cross contamination between samples. Alternative methods which require multiple steps including washing or rinsing are slow and tedious. Gel-X is a safe and efficient one handed operation, with a push button gel and tip release, providing researchers with uniform extractions. Tips fit standard 1000µl pipettors and are available in bags and racks.
