QuickGel electrophoresis products
Helena QuickGel

Quality on a smaller scale - that’s what the QuickGel system is all about. QuickGel electrophoresis products are compact and easy-to-use, allowing cost-effective manual separation without sacrificing quality or accuracy. QuickGel kits are designed for running up to 10 samples per run with the new stand-alone QuickGel Chamber. Some assays allow purchase of additional applicators to accommodate up to 20 samples per gel. For small runs on the automated SPIFE system, we recommend the SPIFE QuickGel kits. Like all of Helena’s premium agarose gels, buffer ridges are built in for ease of use. Separations are crisp and clear.


QuickGel Chamber provides temperature controlled electrophoresisThe QuickGel Chamber provides temperature-controlled electrophoresis, incubation, and drying in a tiny 8.5” x 10.5" footprint. The QuickGel Chamber can be used with most external electrophoresis power supplies. Carbon electrodes are built directly into the chamber lid. With a quick change of the lid, the QuickGel Chamber also serves as an incubator and dryer. No additional equipment or expense.
