Dual Vertical Mini-Gel Electrophoresis System CE, 2-Place, 11.3cm(w) x10cm(h) and EBU-204 Mini-Blotting System, CE, 4-place.

DESCRIPTION

C.B.S. SCIENTIFIC offers four different models of Vertical Mini-Gel Systems for the electrophoresis of small polyacrylamide or agarose gels. The dual units, (see above photo left), provide the capability of running two mini-gels simultaneously under identical buffer conditions. The single units are pictured above right. Two different gel plate dimensions are offered, 11.3cm (w) x 10cm (h) (shown above middle) or 10cm (w) x 8.0cm (h) (shown above far right and far left). These systems are especially useful for rapid analysis
of samples in short supply. Small format gels also cut down on the use of expensive reagents needed for gel formation and running buffer. These units will accommodate most commercially available precast gels.

The Dual Systems come complete with:

• Cooling chamber with coolant recirculation ports
• Long-lasting silicone gaskets on both sides of unit to prevent buffer leakage during electrophoresis
• Safety cover with attached power leads
• 10 molded polypropylene spring clamps
• Bussed together powere leads
• Platinum electrodes

The Single Systems come complete with:

• Long-lasting silicone gasket to prevent buffer leakage during electrophoresis
• Safety cover with attached power leads
• 5 molded polypropylene spring clamps
• Bussed together power leads
• Platinum electrodes

APPLICATIONS

• Mini SDS-PAGE
• Mini 2-D electrophoresis
• Mini agarose gel separations

• Three methods for gel casting:
1. Gel Wrap®: Precision-machined PVC spacers can be used with Gel Wrap® for easy gel sealing.
2. Gel Casting Stand: Two gels can be cast simultaneously using the agarose plug gel casting stand, Cat. # MCS-200. One of two white clamps is fastened onto the aluminum rod to provide vertical support.
3. Multiple Gel Casting Chambers are available for casting either four or ten gels simultaneously.
• All four of these MGV Mini-Gel Systems will accept most commercially availabe pre-cast gels.

• Small size permits rapid analysis of samples in short supply and reduces use of expensive reagents needed for gel formation and running buffer.
• A wide variety of precision machined Teflon® combs are available to suit your needs. Sharktooth combs are now available for these units.
• Mini-Isoelectric Focusing Tube Gel Adapters convert your MGV-202 into a temperature controlled I.E.F. unit. Up to 12 samples can be run under identical buffer conditions.
• Mini-Blotting System now available; can hold up to 4 gel cassettes simultaneously.

Precast Gels: All four of these MGV Systems will accept Novex, Sigma and FMC pre-cast gels.

White Clamps: C.B.S. Scientific now has available molded polypropylene spring clamps for use with these vertical mini-gel systems. These clamps are designed specifically for this application and feature a stainless steel spring. Additional clamps can be ordered in packages of five. The smaller white clamps, Cat. # GPC-0003, are for attaching the glass plate sandwich to the unit, while the Cat. # GPC-0002 clamps are used for gel casting.

Spacer Sets: The spacer sets are precision-machined from unbreakable PVC and come in five thicknesses (0.5mm, 0.75mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, or 3.0mm). Gel Wrap® of the appropriate thickness is recommended for use with these spacers to make gel preparation simpler and faster.

Glass Plates: All glass plates are edge ground and polished for safety and durability. Two types of glass plates are offered for different applications.

1) Precision-notched glass plate sets come in two sizes: 11.3cm (w) x 10.0cm (h) x 1/8" (Cat. # MGP-100R) and 10cm (w) x 8.0 (h) cm x 1/8" (Cat. # MGP-300R).

2) Notched and frosted glass plate sets of the same dimensions are available for agarose gels. The frosted surface of the glass provides better surface adhesion of the agarose.
