Horizontal electrophoresis – Model EHS1000
general specifications
Features
Gel concentration
The range of fragment sizes to be separated will determine the choice of agarose concentration for a gel.
Electrophoresis buffer
TAE buffer provides optimal resolution of fragments >4 kb in length, while for 0.1 to 3 kb fragments, TBE buffer should be selected.
Temperature influence
Electrophoresis at high voltages produces heat. Additionally, high-conductivity buffers such as TAE generate more heat than low-conductivity buffers.
RNA mobility
Either before or during electrophoresis, RNA should be denatured.
Separation performance
Gel concentration, running buffer, voltage, temperature, conformation, and the presence of ethidium bromide all affect separation results.
Enhancing resolution
2 x TAE buffer can be used in units with low buffer volume to enhance resolution during extended runs.
Low cost
Injection moulded construction
Durable, leak-proof environment for complete safety and long life
Cassette type electrodes
Inexpensive, easy to replace. Made of 99.99% corrosion resistant, pure platinum.
Multiple gel trays
Gel size and sample number requirements can be exactly matched in each unit, with the option of additional gel tray sizes
Easy to use
Leak proof “Plug and Go” casting dams allow gels to be rapidly cast externally while the tank remains in use for electrophoresis.
