Allendale Lonza

Convenience is fantastic, but unfortunately you pay a price. The read made gels are prepackaged and sold in sets and you need a Lonza kit to visualize them. It works well but it's just another device on your already crowded bench space.

Strengths: FlashGel systems work great for visualizing gels rapidly. The uniform band resolution allows for ultra sharp excision which is essential for when recovery of samples are rare or hard to obtain.

Needs to improve: While the FlashGel system is nice, it's doesn't improve workflow at all. Seems designed for bench scientists who are relatively unskilled at basic bench tasks.
