Maxi Horizontal Unit
Designed by scientists
This range of horizontal gel electrophoresis units comprises five models covering gel sizes from 6x7.5 cm up to 25x30 cm. All models incorporate the many design and safety features recommended by scientists. The resulting range of gel units is manufactured to highest specification, well finished, easy to use and extremely safe.
Design features
-
Robust acrylic construction.
-
Safety lid with integral power leads.
-
Shrouded power connectors (4 mm plugs).
-
Long life 99.99% pure replaceable platinum electrodes.
-
Gold plated terminal with stainless steel washers to resist corrosion.
Carrying handles
Carrying handles add strength to the units, as well as fa-cilitating their transportation, for example, when emptying used buffer.
White gel table
A white gel table enhances the visibility of marker dyes and samples as they migrate through the gel.
UV transparent gel trays
Allows the gel to be viewed directly on a UV Transilluminator once stained.
Asymmetric electrode offset
This prevents accidental polarity reversal ensuring no possibility of sample loss into the buffer.
Aluminium casting gates
These ensure easy casting of the gel inside or outside of the tank. They slide into preformed grooves at the end of the gel tray providing a secure seal against gel leakage.
Colored strips
When attached to the white gel table, these colored strips enhance visibility when sample loading.
Buffer recirculation ports
These may be connected to a peristaltic pump for buffer recirculation during electrophoresis to maintain buffer pH and prevent ionic gradient formation.
Colour coded combs
Ensures easy identifcation of the correct comb width:
White: 1.00 mm thick.
Red: 1.50 mm thick.
Blue: 2.00 mm thick.
