Blue Pippin System (Sage Science) is a preparative electrophoresis system designed for targeted size selection of biomolecules. It uses disposable, precast agarose gel cassettes, with physically separated sample lanes to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination. The system enables DNA size selection for fragments ranging from 100 bp to 50 kb. Up to five samples can be run simultaneously on a single gel.
