Embitec : What floorutions forthe electrophoresis and the visualisation ofthe DNA, ofthe RNA and of proteins?

EmbiTec designs electrophoresis systems and pre-cast gels that accelerate the visualisation of DNA, RNA and proteins, with no fuss and no UV exposure. Its promise: separations in minutes, simplified handling and enhanced safety. Adopted by molecular biology, quality control and teaching labs, the brand stands out for compact gel docks, blue-light imaging and ready-to-use consumables — to save time and space and improve reliability at the bench. All with reduced sample volumes and immediate start-up.

Laboratory expertise built on speed and simplicity

EmbiTec was born of a simple conviction: electrophoresis should be faster, safer and more intuitive to free up experimental time. By bringing engineers and biologists together, the brand designs precast gel cassettes and instant visualisation systems that eliminate time-consuming steps and sources of error. From the first prototypes through to industrial production, it fine-tunes its gel matrices, optimises dye chemistry and miniaturises enclosures for everyday routine use. Buoyed by adoption in academic labs and biotech companies, EmbiTec then expands its portfolio to RNA and protein applications, and puts in place a responsive technical support team. Its growth is driven by constant iteration with users and a commitment to quality, delivering dependable consumables and streamlined, benchtop-ready instruments built for the modern bench.

Expertise and areas of specialisation

At the heart of EmbiTec’s expertise: accelerated electrophoresis with a small footprint. Compact docks combine power supply, gel tank and blue-light imaging, so you can follow separation in real time and dispense with UV transilluminators. Pre-cast gels—designed for DNA, RNA and, where needed, proteins—incorporate dyes excitable around 470 nm and optimised buffers. The upshot: 5–15 minute runs, low sample volumes, instant start-up and fewer consumables to manage. Closed cassettes limit exposure to intercalating agents and streamline DNA recovery for cloning, PCR verification, CRISPR fragment checks or RNA integrity assessment. In QC and teaching, repeatable performance and crisp, readable bands underpin confident decisions. EmbiTec also engineers matching accessories—ready-to-use markers, dedicated buffers, trays and adapters—for a complete workflow from sample to image. The approach prioritises user safety, clarity of results and shorter cycle times, without sacrificing resolution. Featured in the Dutscher catalogue, these solutions fit laboratories of every size, from the student bench to high-throughput screening platforms.

FAQs about the Embitec brand

Do EmbiTec gels contain ethidium bromide?
Most use blue-light-compatible dyes, avoiding UV and EtBr. Check the datasheet for each product reference to see the exact chemistry.

Can I recover my DNA after the run?
Yes. The gel matrices and cassettes are designed for rapid band excision and recovery. Follow the protocol to minimise loss and maintain fragment integrity.

What are the typical run times?
Depending on fragment size and cassette, separation typically completes in 5–15 minutes. Recommended settings are listed in the EmbiTec guides.

Do the systems require an external transilluminator?
No – imaging is integrated under blue light. For specific use cases, check the wavelengths and filters specified in the model manual.

Which applications are targeted?
PCR QC, clone/CRISPR verification, RNA integrity assessment, rapid screening and teaching. Dedicated markers are available.

How are warranty and support handled?
Dutscher provides expert advice and after-sales support in partnership with EmbiTec. Manuals, safety data sheets and application guides are available on request.
