PhaseShield™ Gel Tubes, a high-performance alternative to traditional Phase Lock Gel (PLG), are preloaded with a specialized gel in multiple centrifuge tube sizes. During centrifugation, the gel forms a stable barrier between organic and aqueous phases due to density differences. This prevents toxic phenol/chloroform contamination while enabling effortless pipetting or pouring of pure nucleic acids—increasing recovery rates by 30% and reducing operational risks.
Key Features
• Zero Organic Contamination: Isolate nucleic acids from phenol/chloroform impurities for unmatched purity.
• 30% Higher Recovery: Effortlessly collect 100% of aqueous phase without residual toxins.
• Lab Safety First: Minimize exposure to hazardous reagents during extraction.
• Time-Saving Workflow: Simplify supernatant removal with seamless pouring/pipetting.
• Universal Compatibility: Integrates with all phenol-chloroform extraction kits and protocols.

Selection Guide
Phase Lock Gel (PLG) has two densities, Heavy (H) and Light (L), which are suitable for any pure phenol, phenol/chloroform and chloroform extractions. The former is suitable for the extraction of plasmids, RNA and other samples containing high impurities (viscous) (not suitable for pure phenol extraction). The latter is suitable for restriction enzymatic digestion, cDNA synthesis, labeling reaction and conventional tissue gene DNA extraction (except for rat tail). The methods can also be selected by the compatibility formula of aqueous phase and organic phase, as listed in the following table.
