FAQs of Electrophoresis:
Q: How do I set up the horizontal electrophoresis apparatus for use?
A: Begin by assembling the tank, gel tray, and electrodes. Prepare the agarose gel in the casting tray, insert the appropriate comb for your desired number of samples (620 per run), and place the gel tray in the tank. Add buffer (400500 ml), connect the apparatus to a compatible external power supply, and ensure the safety cover is securely locked with the interlock engaged.
Q: What types of samples and experiments is this electrophoresis system suited for?
A: This apparatus is designed for agarose gel electrophoresis, suitable for separation and analysis of DNA or RNA samples. Its capacity and accuracy make it ideal for molecular biology research, routine laboratory testing, teaching exercises, and diagnostic applications.
Q: When should the gel thickness be adjusted, and what are typical settings?
A: Gel thickness can be selected based on sample volume or resolution requirements. Typical settings range from 510 mm; thicker gels handle larger sample loads or provide better separation for bigger fragments, while thinner gels are suitable for rapid runs or smaller DNA/RNA pieces.
Q: Where is this electrophoresis apparatus typically used?
A: This system is primarily utilized in research laboratories, teaching institutions, and diagnostic laboratories. Its ease of operation and versatility make it a preferred choice for educational setups and busy research environments throughout India and worldwide.
Q: What is the cleaning and maintenance process for this equipment?
A: After each run, the apparatus should be dismantledremoving the gel tray, electrodes, and combs. Rinse all components with distilled water, using mild detergent if necessary. Dry thoroughly before reassembly. Its modular design ensures quick and straightforward cleaning with minimal risk of damage.
Q: How does the safety cover and interlock feature enhance laboratory safety?
A: The integrated safety cover with interlock prevents accidental contact with electrical components during operation. This feature is especially important when handling high-voltage electrophoresis and helps maintain a secure and controlled environment, reducing the risk of personal injury.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing this model for agarose gel electrophoresis?
A: This apparatus provides accurate band separation, flexible sample capacity, and is easy to use and maintain. Features like removable electrodes, a leak-proof tank, robust construction, and high compatibility with various power supplies make this unit a reliable choice for fast, efficient, and precise DNA/RNA analysis.
