Thistle Scientific Fast MiniSub (100x80 mm, 2 Combs with 8 Samples)

The Thistle Scientific Fast MiniSub (100 x 80 mm) is a compact, high-efficiency electrophoresis system designed for rapid analysis of DNA, RNA, and proteins. Known also as the MiniRapide, this all-in-one system allows gel casting, running, and analysis within the same ultra-compact unit—minimising setup time and reducing the risk of gel damage. With its UV-transparent base, gels can be directly visualised on a UV transilluminator without the need for transfer. Fast electrophoresis and minimal buffer requirements make this system ideal for time-sensitive applications in molecular biology and biochemistry laboratories.
