Product news

Electrophoresis specialists CLEAVER SCIENTIFIC (CSL) now offer their range of electrophoresis products as all-in-one package deals for optimum economy and convenience. The complete range of these package deals means that CSL provides one of the widest ranges of combination packages to meet the DNA, RNA and protein electrophoresis requirements of today’s scientists.

The Multisub horizontal gel system can now be purchased as a complete package including high specification reagents. Included in these packages are a horizontal gel tank from the Multisub range, power supply from the omniPAc range, agarose, buffer, DNA markers and loading dye.

The buffer comes in convenient dry form and can be made into 1 X buffer just by adding distilled water. These along with the ready mixed sample loading buffer provide the researcher with added savings in time. The DNA markers supplied can be stored at room temperature for added convenience. Purchasing as a combination package is also less expensive than purchasing individual equipments and reagents.

The CSL omniPAGE TETRAD vertical electrophoresis packages are the ideal solution for protein gel electrophoresis allowing the simultaneous casting and running of four gels. Package deals are also available that include electro-blotting.

Maximum flexibility at the time of ordering is provided because the systems can either be purchased including a PAGE-running module, external casting stand, caster and enough combs and glass plates with bonded spacers to run up to four vertical gels simultaneously. For those wanting to perform electro-blotting, a package is available that includes a blotting module. This enables the TETRAD to cast, run and blot four gels within just a few hours using the same tank, lid and power cables. A tube gel module can be purchased separately for 2-D electrophoresis.

Each TETRAD package may also be supplied with the CS-300V power supply (CVS10TETRAD1-300 and CSV10TETRAD1CBS-300), which with an output of 300 volts and 700mA provides nearly twice the power and current ratings of the market leader’s equivalent model. In contrast, for those laboratories performing high current electro-blotting, the CS-3AMP programmable power supply offers a sizeable 3000mA output and may be selected again at the time of purchase.

Cleaver Scientifics’ innovative and rapid set up sliding clamp is a standard feature in each Mini PAGE-running module while a casting base includes an ultra-soft gasket for easy gel casting. The casting upstand included with the TETRAD systems allows external casting of four additional gels which enables the same system to be used for casting and running gels at the same time. ENDS.

multiSUB Choice Trio
Cleaver Scientific Ltd
The multiSUB Choice offers a wide degree of versatility. Three tray options are available - 15 x 7cm, 15 x 10cm and 15 x 15cm - allowing the choice of one, two or all three gel length options at the time of purchase. Maximising comb and tray options allow up to 210 samples to be resolved per gel. The 15cm total run length allows restriction fragment or other close MW sample bands to be easily separated and identified. Speed loading is accomplished using 10, 14, 16, 18, 28 and 30 sample multi-channel pipette compatible combs.The multiSUB Choice Trio is sold complete with all three UV Trays (15 x 7,15 x 10 & 15 x 15cm), plus 2 x 20 sample combs, loading guides and dams.

multiSUB Maxi Duo
Cleaver Scientific Ltd
The multiSUB Maxi is primarily designed for resolution of high numbers of samples such as those from Cloning or PCR. The multiSUB Maxi allows ultra high-resolution separations over extended runs. Tray sizes correspond to standard blotter sizes. It also allows easy sample transfer onto a membrane for further analysis. Three tray sizes are available – 20 x 20cm, 20 x 25cm and a half-length 20 x 10cm. Multichannel pipette compatible combs (up to 40 sample) facilitate speed loading of up to 440 samples per gel. 50 sample combs allow maximum sample capacity of 550 samples per gel.The multiSUB Maxi Duo is sold complete with both 20 x 20cm and 20 x 10cm UV Trays, plus 2 x 20 sample combs, loading guides and dams.

multiSUB Midi Duo
Cleaver Scientific Ltd
With gel tray options of 10 x 7cm and 10 x 10cm, the multiSUB Midi has been designed for routine horizontal gel electrophoresis. Extending only the width of this unit allows more samples to be resolved per gel than the multiSUB Mini without a significant increase in buffer or gel volumes. A maximum of 100 samples per gel can be resolved making this unit ideal for those routinely checking medium numbers of samples over short to medium gel run lengths.The multiSUB Midi Duo is sold complete with both 10 x 7cm and 10 x 10cm UV Trays, plus 2 x 16 sample combs, loading guides and dams.

multiSUB Mini Duo
Cleaver Scientific Ltd
The multiSUB Mini is the smallest unit in the multiSUB range, designed for low to medium numbers of samples. The small gel size maximises run economy but does not compromise versatility as two tray options are available – 7 x 7cm and 7 x 10cm, and combs ranging from preparative up to 16 samples. Simply by altering the gel tray or comb, this compact unit is capable of resolving up to 64 different samples, prepping 1ml of sample or separating sample bands over a distance of 9cm. The multiSUB Mini Duo is sold complete with both 7 x 7cm and 7 x 10cm UV Trays, plus 2 x 8 sample combs, loading guides and dams.

multiSUB Screen Trio
Cleaver Scientific Ltd
Designed for rapid screening of very large numbers of Clonal or PCR samples, the multiSUB Screen horizontal gel unit has a 672 maximum sample capacity per gel. This allows loading and analysis of exactly seven 96 well format micro titre plates.The large gel run length of 32cm also allows resolution of samples over a long distance for separation of complex sample bands such as in restriction fragment analysis. The unit is available with a full length tray or with other tray length options of 16 or 24cm so that the user’s exact requirements can be matched. In addition to options for single length gel trays, multiSUB Screen is available with all three gel tray lengths to provide the maximum in flexibility, versatility and value. Buffer recirculation ports are included as standard to allow enhanced resolution over extended runs while loading guides enhance well visibility for easy sample loading.The multiSUB Screen Trio is sold complete with all three UV Trays (26 x 16cm, 26 x 24cm, 26 x 32cm), plus 6 x 28 sample combs and loading guides.

omniPAGE Modular Systems
Cleaver Scientific Ltd
The omniPAGE range of Modular Vertical Gel Systems allow multiple electrophoresis techniques to be performed in the same unit. Using the same main tank and lid, three different inserts are interchangeable for slab gel, tube gel and electroblotting techniques.These systems are available in three size options, Mini 10 x 10cm, Mini Wide 20 x 10cm and Maxi 20 x 20cm and are available as individual, combination or complete modular systems. Combination and modular systems offer maximum value and space and have the added benefit of increased consistency which results from using the same universal base and lid.The systems include all modules and accessories required for Slab Gel Electrophoresis, 2-D Electrophoresis and Electroblotting. The central component is the omniPAGE Mini Vertical unit, Mini Wide Vertical Unit or omniPAGE Maxi Vertical unit. These include a rapid and intuitive casting system, enhanced and easy to set up cooling system and have increased capacity; they can run up to four gels per run.
