Features

- Machine tapered baffles adjacent to either end of the bed permit quick and easy pouring of an agarose submarine gel. Slide both baffles into grooves next to gel bed and pour gel solution into place. After gel has solidified, simply slide the gates out of the slots and store in spaces conveniently located at either end of the unit for later use. Gels also can be cast in the unit on the accessory UV transparent gel tray. To precast gels in a Gel Tray use Gel Casters or tape ends of tray.

- Platinum electrode is sealed in side wall, shielding it from the buffer as it descends to bottom of unit, and is only exposed along the base of the reservoir on both sides. This helps to protect the platinum and provides a uniform field across the width of the gel.

- Precision-machined combs can be adjusted to desired height above the gel bed.

- Gel beds are made from UV transparent acrylic, allowing gels to be scanned at 275 nm – 325 nm without removing them from units.

Description

The Mini Horizontal Gel System provides a compact format to rapidly separate and identify RNA and DNA fragments, PCR products and synthetic oligonucleotides, while using minimal quantities of expensive reagents.

The Mini Horizontal Unit has gel bed dimensions of 7.5 cm x 10.0 cm. The gel bed is UV transparent. Adjustable height Combs are offered in several thicknesses and formats to accommodate a wide variety of experimental applications. Safety covers come with interlocking power leads and can be easily removed using push-pins. UV transparent Gel Trays are available as an accessory.

There are two options for gel casting:
 

1. The tapered baffle system allows gel casting directly into the unit or removable gel trays without having to seal with agarose plugs or tape.
   
    
2. Mini Horizontal Gel Casters can cast 1 or 3 gels simultaneously.
