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.

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.

MaGELin Mini Protein System

• For 10 cm x 10 cm cast-your-own polyacrylamide gels
• Comes with dual casting system
• 3 sets of glass plates and 2 sets of 0.8 mm thickness spacers.
• Buffer tank, dual gel capture, vented lid and power cords included

The IB94000 MaGELin Mini protein system comes complete with everything you need to pour 10 cm x 10 cm cast-your-own gels. This highly versatile system will also accommodate the IB95000 Western Transfer module so when you’re not running gels the unit can be used as a dedicated Western transfer system.
 

The IB94000 comes complete with:

• Dual gel capture device for running two gels simultaneously.
• Dual gel casting system that allows casting outside of the running unit.
• Three sets of glass plates for pouring and running gels
• Two sets of special 0.8 mm side spacers to seal the gel sandwich during pouring
• Buffer tank
• Vented lid
• Power cords.
• Two 0.8 mm x 12-tooth combs.

The IB94000 utilizes a unique spacer and casting system to make it easy and fast to cast your own gels. The special side spacers are made specifically to accommodate the thickness of each glass slide that comes with the unit. These side spacers will produce a 0.8 mm thick gel. Once the glass plates have been assembled using the side spacers, they can now be inserted into the gel casting unit. This unit accommodates two sets of glass plates simultaneously. The bottom of the gel casting unit contains a very soft gel-like gasket that will seal the bottom of the gel sandwich. Once the gel sandwich is placed inside the casting unit, place the lid of the casting unit on top and press gently to fasten using the included thumb screws. Once fastened the lid will provide the correct amount of down pressure on the gel sandwich to seal the bottom and hold them in place. The polyacrylamide solution can now be introduced through the opening in the casting fixture lid. 

• POWER- 150v/400ma
• CONTROL- set voltage, amperage and time
• FLEXIBILITY - runs 6x6cm to 12.5x12cm gels
• THROUGHPUT - up to 112 samples at once
• CONVENIENCE - casting set and combs included
• WARRANTY: 1 year

Labnet's Enduro Gel XL includes all components necessary to cast and run horizontal gels: gel trays, combs, casting stand, gel tank and digital power supply. The migration tank, gel trays and multichannel combs are molded for leakproof performance and a long service life. The direct connection of the power supply into the gel box eliminates the need for power leads.

Pressing the eject button separates the gel box and power supply. Reconnecting is easy-just press the two pieces together. The power supply can be set to either constant voltage or constant current with automatic crossover between the two parameters. Parameters are shown on the large digital display that is easily visible from a distance.

There are three different gel options for the Enduro Gel XL; 12.5 x 12cm, 12.5 x 6cm and 6 x 6cm. One larger gel with multiple combs will accommodate up to 112 samples. Or run two small gels or four micro gels at the same time. Cassettes protect fragile electrodes from damage and allow for easy replacement.

A magnetic sensor allows current to flow to the electrodes only when the lid is in place. If the lid is removed while the system is operating, current is immediately shut down. In addition, the lid of the gel box is vented to dissipate heat produced during electrophoresis. To aid in visualizing the gel while it is running, there is a clear window over the gel platform.
