"Precast Polyacrylamide Gels"

Supplier: VWR Collection

The smallest of all the PerfectBlue electrophoresis systems, the Mini S can be used for up to 24 samples enabling short and rapid sample separation. This model includes all the features of the larger models, including direct chamber gel casting and embedded platinum electrodes, and is supplied ready to use with lid, power leads, two combs and a gel tray with an easy to read ruler.

Supplier: VWR Collection

Extra wide, for gels 20×10 cm, Twin ExW S is ideally suited to rapid analytical separations or large sample separation. The combination of the triple-cathode construction, and effective cooling provides a stable environment for high quality sample separation.

With its extra wide design, the Midi ExW is ideal when there is a need to run lots of samples (up to 200) in just a short distance, for example, when genotyping. This format, along with its compact footprint, offers rapid run times without compromising on power. The result is a system for high throughput sample processing, generating crisp clear band data. As with all PerfectBlue gel systems, gels can be poured directly in the trays at temperatures up to +60 °C. With the Midi ExW, the trays can be walled with effective gasketed 'end gates' which are supplied in the system. In addition, gel size can be reduced by using wall combs or the aluminium casting dam.

The shiroGEL vertical 20 offers application flexibility and is distinguished by its ease of gel casting and set-up, requiring only four screws to secure up to four 20×20 cm gels. This vertical screw clamp technology distributes pressure evenly along the height of gel rather than in the centre to eliminate plate bowing and gel compression, while maintaining a leakproof seal during casting. A built-in inner buffer chamber within the PAGE insert allows set up to be completed without inclusion of an upper buffer chamber. These systems are ideal for 1D and 2D SDS-PAGE, native, preparative, gradient and high resolution nucleic acid electrophoresis.

VWR® Real Time electrophoresis systems have revolutionised DNA electrophoresis. it is no longer necessary to remove a gel from a tank, place it onto a transilluminator for viewing or place the gel into an imaging system to take a photo. These versatile and compact systems are an all-in-one replacement for a power supply, gel tank, transilluminator and gel imaging system.

Based on the Maxi M model, the Maxi M 'Revolution' offers a built-in buffer circulation system, powered by the system’s electrodes. At the cathode, hydrogen bubbles are produced and pass up a diagonally positioned pipe connected to the two sides of the tank to produce a gentle and continual circulation of the buffer. The system nulls any pH and ionic gradient – without the fuss of mechanical pumps. The system offers 6 comb positions enabling the gel to be partitioned into 2, 3 or 4 areas. In addition, the system can accommodate any of the 23 standard and microtitre comb designs described for the Maxi M model.

Wider than the Maxi S Plus, the Maxi M model can accommodate up to 168 samples but still with an economical footprint.

For 16×14 cm gels, the Twin M is a versatile system for SDS PAGE applications, in addition to non denaturing electrophoresis of proteins, SSCPs and dinucleotide repeats. With the enlarged upper buffer chamber, water circulation system and heat-sinking aluminium ceramic plates, the Twin M provides high speed separation while maintaining straight, sharp bands.

Supplier: VWR Collection

The largest of the series, the Twin L can accommodate 20×20 cm gels for the simultaneous separation of up to 50 samples making this system ideally suited to either higher throughput or separating lower molecular weight samples. The system actively manages temperature build up with an efficient water cooling system and central aluminium ceramic plates for effective and safe long-term operation.

Supplier: VWR Collection

The smallest of the Maxi series, the Maxi S Plus is suitable for high quality sample separation of up to 160 samples per run. With this flexible system, the gel size can be split into two, three or four sections by using different comb positions, plus the gel size can be reduced using the wall comb or the casting dam system.

The Maxi ExW 'Revolution' offers built-in buffer recirculation - without the need for pumps or additional tubing. The Maxi ExW 'Revolution' offers the same high throughput, rapid separation as the Maxi ExW model but, with the position of the cathode and a rising tube, the system uses hydrogen bubbles to slowly mix the buffer. This system thereby avoids the build-up of pH or ionic gradients for electrophoresis of maximum quality and stability.

The JustCast system is a flexible and quick system for casting multiple PerfectBlue™ compatible 'mini' gels at the same time, without the need to tape. Adjustable to fit all gel trays featured in the PerfectBlue™ mini gel series, this system comes fitted with an easy to read bubble level and adjustable feet to ensure a level casting of the gel. At any one time, the system can fit three Mini S, two Mini M or two Mini L trays.

This 'extra wide' Maxi tank was developed especially for large sample numbers and rapid separation times. Accommodating up to 10 microtitre combs, the Maxi ExW can be used to separate up to 500 samples and facilitates error-free loading with multichannel pipettes. By optimising the position of the embedded platinum electrode and the use of the three-point levelling platform, with in-built bubble level, the Maxi ExW provides highly reproducible and dependable sample separation, free from 'smiling' effects.

Designed for ease of use and safe operation, the shiroGEL horizontal electrophoresis systems and accessories are built to withstand the rigours of everyday use. For leakproof performance the gel boxes and gel trays are moulded from thick acrylic. UV transparent gel trays aid in visualisation of samples. Cassettes protect the electrodes and allow for easy replacement. Gel casting is simple with the durable rubber casting gates. Slots in the sides of the trays allow for easy comb placement. The two-piece design of the combs allows for vertical adjustment, giving the user control over the depth of the well. The combs supplied with the systems are 1,5 mm thick. Multiple combs, including those compatible with multichannel pipettes and different thicknesses, are also available. The 'EasyLift' gel box lid is easily removed using the side tabs and pressure pads. The lid is domed, to prevent condensation from dripping onto the gel, and is surrounded by a drip ring, to help recover the condensate and maintain buffer concentration.

This 96-well format horizontal gel electrophoresis unit is compatible with 8-channel multichannel pipettes, and matches up with a standard 96-well plate configuration.
