PR1MA™ Mini Gel Electrophoresis System

• Complete system, includes gel box, power supply and casting sets
• Quick and easy gel casting, no tape, clamps or spacers required
• Compact design, footprint: 7 x 5.1 in.

The PR1MA™ Mini Gel electrophoresis system includes all of the equipment that you need to get up and running: gel tank, power supply, and two casting sets. Ideal for personal use, small laboratories, or the classroom, this gel box/power supply combination is compact and easy to use.

The mini gel box attaches directly to the power supply for a secure connection every time. Selectable parameters include 3 preset voltages – 35V, 50V or 100V – and a 99-minute timer. All are set using the membrane keypad.

The safety lid is vented to help dissipate heat generated during electrophoresis and features a viewing area above the gel. Current will only run through the system when the lid is properly in place on top of the gel box.

Trays and casting stands for both 10.5 x 6 cm and 5 x 6 cm gels are included with the PR1MA™ Mini system, as are double-sided combs. The smaller tooth combs are compatible with multi-channel pipettes. Casting is quick and easy – just place the tray in the casting stand and pour. The trays feature a dark contrast strip to help visualize wells while loading and lines that fluoresce under UV and blue light to track the progress of the run.

myGel InstaView™ System | Complete System with Power Supply

• View DNA migration and separation as it happens
• Blue light illumination - won't damage DNA
• Capture high-resolution images without removing the gel from the tank

The myGel InstaView™ comes complete with everything needed to cast, run, and view mini electrophoresis gels, including an integrated power supply. One large (10.5 x 10 cm) or small (10.5 x 6 cm) gel is accommodated by the gel tank. Gels are easily poured using the supplied trays, combs, and leak-proof casting stand. The power supply connects directly to the gel tank – no more leads to contend with. The connection is guaranteed to be right, every time.

Output voltage can be adjusted to 35V, 50V, or 100V and run time can be set for up to 99 minutes. A magnetic interlock between the gel tank and the lid prevents current from running through the system when the lid is not properly in place.

Once the myGel InstaView™ System is set up, simply slide the mini LED transilluminator into place under the tank and at any time turn it on to view the run in real-time. An array of blue LEDs emits bright blue light at a wavelength of 465 nm for optimal excitation of common green fluorescent stains such as SmartGlow™, SYBYR™ Green, and Gel Green, without damaging DNA. An orange filter is incorporated into the lid for visualizing DNA bands without any additional equipment or special glasses. When it’s time to document results, place the included gel imaging enclosure over top of the myGel InstaView, and use the camera app on any smartphone to capture high-resolution images without removing the gel from the tank.

Images are easily shared via email or text message or printed.
 

Specifications

InstaView™ Gel Tank

For labs that prefer to use a separate power supply, the InstaView™ Gel Tank is the perfect choice for running, viewing, and documenting electrophoretic separations. The InstaView™ Gel Tank accommodates one large (10.5 x 10 cm) or one small (10.5 x 6 cm) gel tray and is supplied with trays, combs, and a leak-proof casting stand. The gel tank lid includes attached power leads which prevent the unit from operating without the lid properly in place.

Any standard power supply can be connected, including the Accuris myVolt™ Mini and myVolt Touch. The InstaView™ Gel Tank is shaped to allow the mini-LED transilluminator (included) to slide underneath. Blue light, at a wavelength of 465 nm, provides excitation of common green fluorescent stains such as SmartGlow™, SYBR™ Green, and GelGreen. An orange filter is incorporated into the gel tank lid for visualizing the DNA in the gel box without any additional equipment or glasses. The transilluminator can be turned on at any time during a run to track progress and automatically shuts off after 5 minutes.

After electrophoresis, simply place the included imaging enclosure over the InstaView™ Gel Tank to capture high-resolution images with a smartphone. Images are easily printed or shared via email or text message.
