■ Offers the capacity of two mini gels on a single gel
■ Rapid gel casting and loading
■ Optional low or high buffer volumes
■ Rapid set up cooling
The omniPAGE mini wide vertical gel unit with a gel width of 20cm effectively allows double the number of samples to be resolved as the omniPAGE mini unit. This allows consistency of sample comparison on a single gel and is designed for those with greater than 20 samples to compare and resolve.
Simple set up using ultra soft silicone seals guarantees trouble free glass plate loading and gel casting.
Dual gaskets on the gel running insert along with notched and plain glass plates ensure leak proof gel running. Rapid set up cooling retains resolution in extended separations and also saves on buffer volume without affecting run quality. 4mm thick glass plates reduce breakage and have bonded spacers for added convenience. A wide range of accessories is available allowing many techniques to be performed using the same unit. Prep combs can be used to maximise sample loading and recovery. Accessory electroblotting and tube gel modules are
available which use the same outer tank and lid.
Multiple minigel casting
■ Integral levelling feet and level bubble
■ Standard and gradient gels can be poured
■ Choice of 6, 12 or 24 gel casting models
Advance casting of multiple mini gels can help to achieve consistent results between runs. These multiple gel casting systems are tailored for use with omniPAGE mini vertical electrophoresis units; with three models of 6, 12 and 24 gel capacities. Fewer gels can be poured if required using the acrylic saver blocks supplied with each system.
The fixed hinged clamps allows the gel sandwich to be adjusted to the correct pressure irrespective of the number or the thickness of gels being poured. Separation sheets allow the easy separation of the glass plates after pouring.
Gradient mixers
Ideal for Caesium, Sucrose and Gel gradients these Gradient Mixers comprise two chambers – a reservoir and a mixing chamber with an interconnecting valve. A second valve regulates the output flow from the mixing chamber. All mixers have a flat base which allows them to be placed on a magnetic stirrer. A magnetic stirring bar can be placed directly in the mixing chamber to ensure a constant gradient. The support rod allows the mixer to be fixed to a retort stand for extra stability.
