•Run a single gel at a time or have the convenience and option of running two gels simultaneously using our dual-sided model.

• Made to last, our units are constructed of heavy- duty thick acrylic with pure platinum wire electrodes welded into the frame to minimize wire breakage, maintain even current, and ensure safety.

• Reduces gel smiling by placing one complete side of the gel plate in complete contact with the upper buffer chamber for an even cooling effect.

• A permanent, reliable leak-proof seal is maintained with the durable silicone sponge cord gasket set snugly in a groove.

•Thick glass plates won't crack easily.

•Choose either a standard or custom comb (see standard or page custom).

•Casting unit is available for pouring 10 gels at once (see casting stand).

• Protection from accidental tipping or contact with buffers with our safety lids (see safety lids).

Our unique sealing system is quick and simple to use. Simply wrap our flexible seal tubing around the attached spacers and secure with binder clips. (Spacers can be supplied unattached, if preferred.)

To run, clip the polymerized gel sandwich to our main structural frame. This creates an enclosed upper buffer chamber with its electrodes and anchors the gel onto the same sturdy frame. Set this unit into the lower buffer box, load the samples, connect the leads and apply power. Typical run time for 12% gradient gels is 1 hr. at 10 watt power input.

Complete unit includes: main frame and lower buffer chamber, 1 set of glass plates (1 notched and 1 square with .75 mm PVC spacers attached), 1 seal tubing, 2 combs (.75 mm Teflon© 6 & 12 well), power supply leads, and 4 clips. (Dual-sided model includes 2 glass plate sets, 4 combs, and 8 clips).

•Longer lasting than traditional clips due to the rust resistant coating that will not corrode in the presence of most salt buffers.

• Increases safety by insulating from electrical current when running high voltage gels.

• Sturdy binder clips are spray coated with high grade Spectrum™ powder and baked to a smooth finish.

•Quickly separates proteins (average run time is 30 minutes).

•Small size permits rapid stain and destain with excellent resolution in thin gels.

•Conserves buffers and acrylamide - uses small solution volumes in the running box and casting unit.

• Multiple casting box permits up to 10 gels to be cast at once using inexpensive lantern slides, 10.2 x 8.3 (cm), for glass plates. This makes our unit an inexpensive alternative to buying small precast gels.

• Pure platinum electrodes.

Simply drop your glass and gel sandwich into the center slot and run your vertical gel "submarine." Hydrostatic equilibrium between "upper" and "lower" buffer chambers eliminates the need for watertight gaskets, clamps and notched glass plates.

Complete unit includes: 1 electrophoresis unit, casting stand, power supply leads, 20 glass plates, 5 Teflon© combs (10 well), and 20 Teflon© spacers (.4 mm).

Design your Own Mini Vertical System

•We can customize this unit to run any manufacturer's precast gels (Biorad Miniprotean© II Ready Gels, Novex© Mini Gel precast gels, etc.).

•You decide how many gels you want to run simultaneously. ï For ordering information, please see the Custom Work section.
