New electrophoresis units are technically better
Easy-to-use, quick to set-up and capable of high quality, rapid and reliable sample resolution, are features of new range of injection moulded electrophoresis products introduced by Cleaver Scientific
When you need shielding from radioactive compounds
Cleaver Scientific has introduced over 120 radiation safety products which provide protection for laboratory personnel involved in applications where either beta or gamma emitting compounds are used
The patented sliding clamp mechanism means that the sealing and casting of gels is simply achieved by sliding two clamps on either side of the glass plates, a process which takes seconds.
Also, as the unit is constructed using the latest injection moulded manufacturing techniques, a high quality finish combined with durability, strength and low cost, is assured.
To cast the gel, the glass plates are simply inserted into the unit and clamps slid across to seal.
The insert is then transferred to the casting base and secured down onto an ultra-soft 10 shore hardness silicone mat.
The gel solution is loaded and once it has set, the module is placed into the tank for running.
This makes gel casting a simple four step procedure and considerably quicker than other systems available which either utilise complicated and unreliable screw mechanisms or require the transfer of glass plates Other features and benefits of the omniPAGE Mini system include; a reversible gasket which takes all 10x10cm and 10x8cm commercially available precast gels, durable 2mm thick glass plates with bonded spacers providing convenient and perfect set-up during gel casting.
A cooling pack is also included as standard for rapid set-up cooling which enhances gel resolution giving ultra fine sample bands and parallel sample migration.
A wide range of comb and spacers are available, including preparative, 2D, high sample number and multi-channel pipette compatible, colour coded in thicknesses of 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5 and 2mm.
Finally, accessory blotting and tube gel modules are available which use the same outer tank and lid, while the blotting module has an increased three gel capacity and includes a novel hinged cassettes which eliminate shadow bands.
