Bio-Rad Mini-PROTEAN Tetra Cell Electrophoresis System from China

The Bio-Rad Mini-PROTEAN Tetra Cell is a vertical electrophoresis system designed for protein separation using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). It utilizes electrical current to drive proteins through the gel matrix based on size and charge, fitting HTS 9027.20.5030 as an electrical electrophoresis instrument for physical/chemical analysis. Commonly used in molecular biology labs for SDS-PAGE applications.

Import Tips

Verify CE marking and electrical safety certifications (e.g

UL, IEC) for compliance with US import standards

Include detailed technical specs and user manuals in documentation to confirm classification as electrophoresis apparatus

Avoid misclassification as general labware; specify 'electrical electrophoresis instrument' on commercial invoice
