Bio-Rad Criterion Cell Midi Vertical Electrophoresis System Used

The Bio-Rad Criterion Cell is a dedicated midi-format vertical electrophoresis apparatus designed to run one or two precast or handcast Criterion gels. Offering a wider separation area than standard mini-gels, this system provides superior resolution for complex protein or nucleic acid mixtures, making it ideal for SDS-PAGE, native PAGE, and 2D gel electrophoresis. The cell features an integrated upper buffer chamber within the core assembly and a robust polycarbonate lower tank, ensuring optimal cooling and sharp, straight bands. The specialized green safety lid prevents operation unless securely seated, protecting users from high voltage.

Condition Notes

• Condition: Used / Inspected & Good Condition.
• Functional Status: Visually inspected for integrity. As shown in the photo, the delicate internal platinum electrode wires are fully intact and securely mounted. The high-voltage banana plug cables are firmly integrated into the safety lid without fraying or exposed wiring.
• Cosmetic Status: Good used condition. The clear polycarbonate lower buffer tank is structurally sound, free of cracks, deep gouges, or leaks. The green acrylic safety lid is fully intact. Both components exhibit minor cosmetic scuffing and water spots typical of standard laboratory use.
