Product news

Two new Gel Systems which are ideally suited for high throughput electrophoresis of PCR products from 96 well microtitre plates, have been introduced by Cleaver Scientific (CSL). The compact CSL multiSUB Midi 96 system is designed to be used in conjunction with samples from 96 well plates to allow direct loading and easy identification of samples. The run length between samples is 17mm. Also available is the multiSUB MIDI96 stretch, which has a run length of 34mm for those requiring extended separations.

With an average run-time of just 15 to 30 minutes, the Midi 96 version allows rapid identification of samples. Direct rapid sample loading is facilitated using 8 channel pipettes. Two different types of comb are available - one with 8 wells and one additional lane for DNA markers and one with 8 wells plus two additional lanes for markers. Custom made combs to other formats are also available on request.

The buffer volume of the Midi 96 is just 300ml. This can be reduced using convenient buffer saver blocks to 200ml. Rapid leak-proof gel casting is facilitated using end dams and an all-in-one comb block, no placing of individual combs is required. Other convenient features include well visualisation aids and loading guides for easy sample loading.

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.

ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis equipment is used to separate mixtures of protein, DNA or RNA, based on their electric charge, size and other physical characteristics, by passing them through a medium such as a polyacrylamide gel, an agarose gel or a capillary tube. Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners.

The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.
