Glygen is proud to introduce the new Micro Gel Crusher for crushing small gel pieces. The Micro Gel Crusher is based on a micropipette tip, and has a very narrow opening at the bottom. The Micro Gel Crusher’s piston pushes the small piece of gel through the Crusher’s narrow slit, which crushes the gel.

Gel crushing can enhance enzymatic action of a solution of enzymes such as trypsin.  During the crushing, the enzyme penetrates the gel under pressure, and exposes more protein molecules in the gel to the enzyme.

Features/Benefits

• Higher recovery of proteins or peptides
• Better enzymatic reaction (e.g., trypsin) when gel crusher used
• No risk of cross-contamination (disposable)
