Robust Construction for Routine Laboratory UseBuilt from high-grade acrylic or polycarbonate, the apparatus is engineered for durability and repeated use in demanding laboratory environments. Its transparent or blue casing allows clear visibility of the gel, while the compact design ensures it fits seamlessly on standard lab benches.
Versatile Sample Handling and Safety FeaturesThe leak-proof, autoclavable tray accommodates buffer volumes between 300 and 500 ml and is complemented by multiple well-format combs, allowing flexibility for various experiments. Safety is enhanced through a safety interlock lid, minimizing the risk of electric shock during operation.
Precision and Compliance in Every RunUtilizing corrosion-resistant platinum wire for electrodes, the apparatus delivers precise and consistent electrical conductivity. The unit is CE certified and compatible with typical lab power supplies (operating at 50300 V, up to 400 mA), accommodating a range of electrophoresis requirements.
FAQs of ELECTROPHORESIS APPARATUS:
Q: How do I operate the Electrophoresis Apparatus for loading and running gels?
A: Start by preparing your gel and placing it in the leak-proof, autoclavable sample tray. Load samples into the wells using the provided comb (6, 8, or 10 wells). Fill the chamber with buffer (approx. 300500 ml), secure the safety interlock lid, and connect the external power supply. Adjust voltage and current as required (up to 400 mA, 50300 V). Monitor the run at room temperature (15C30C).
Q: What are the main benefits of the corrosion-resistant platinum wire electrodes included in this apparatus?
A: Corrosion-resistant platinum wire electrodes provide stable electrical conduction throughout each run, ensuring reproducibility and minimizing maintenance. Platinums durability supports long-term reliable performance, even with regular exposure to buffers and repetitive use.
Q: When should I use the integrated or external gel casting tray option?
A: Select the integrated gel casting tray for seamless in-chamber casting and minimal handling, reducing risks of gel damage. The external casting tray is useful for preparing gels in advance or when simultaneous casting of multiple gels is required, enhancing workflow efficiency.
Q: Where can this electrophoresis apparatus be utilized?
A: This device is ideal for molecular biology, biochemistry, clinical diagnostics, and research laboratories. Its CE certification and robust design make it suitable for academic, industrial, and clinical settings across India and internationally.
Q: What process is recommended for cleaning and maintaining the apparatus?
A: After each run, remove the tray and lid, then rinse with distilled water. For thorough cleaning, use mild detergent and soft cloth, ensuring all buffer residues are removed. Both tray and lid are autoclavable, allowing for routine sterilization without damage.
Q: How does the safety interlock lid improve laboratory safety during electrophoresis?
A: The safety interlock lid prevents access to electrical components while the unit is powered. This mechanism significantly reduces the risk of accidental electric shock, protecting users during operation and maintenance.
Q: What is the maximum gel size and capacity supported by the apparatus?
A: This mini gel tank accommodates gels up to 70 x 80 mm and typically allows one to two gels per run, making it suitable for small- to mid-scale applications in research and diagnostic workflows.
