Scie-Plas sets the standard for horizontal gel electrophoresis with the HU15
20 Aug 2007Product news
The Scie-Plas HU15 standard horizontal gel electrophoresis unit offers the comb throughput and tray-size options most popular in today’s market, but with additional casting options.
Benefits include: -
- The market standard - a 15 x 15cm gel tray, with comb options ranging from 1 to 30 samples, is currently the most popular format in today’s market
- Four comb slots - at 3.5cm intervals along the tray for faster separation of a maximum 120 samples
- Multi-channel pipette compatible combs - with a maximum 30-sample throughput reduce gel-loading time, while preparatory combs enable nucleic acids to be scaled up for cloning
- UV-transparent casting tray - may be used either with casting gates with integral silicone seals or Scie-Plas SuperSeals™ to provide completely flexible leak-free casting
- All included as standard - twelve coloured loading strips, two buffer recirculation ports and two 1mm thick, 16-sample combs
Specification
- Gel Size (W x L): 15 x 15cm
- Buffer Volume: 1200ml
- Maximum Sample Capacity: 120
- Comb Throughput: 1 to 30 samples

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.
