Hoefer Gel Casters are designed for efficient, simultaneous casting of multiple gradient or homogenous gels, ensuring consistency and time savings in your electrophoresis workflow. Choose between multiple-gel casters for batch casting or a versatile dual-gel caster for smaller runs.
These casters eliminate the need for messy grease or tape, thanks to their leak-free glass plate sandwich design. Gels cast with Hoefer systems can be stored for weeks, making them ideal for labs that need reproducible results and flexible scheduling.
