miniVE Vertical Electrophoresis System
miniVE Vertical Electrophoresis System
Overview
Convenient design
The simple, modular design of miniVE vertical electrophoresis system consolidates all the small parts for electrophoresis and blotting into one convenient unit. Uniform gel temperature is maintained with the tank-style lower buffer chamber. A full tank stabilizes the temperature so that lanes are straight and bands are flat. The blot Module will accept two gel/membrane stacks simultaneously. The lower buffer chamber is designed to hold two Blot Modules, allowing four gels to be blotted at once
Load, clamp, and cast
The gel module is simultaneously a casting stand and an upper buffer chamber with integrated clamps. Simply assemble the gel sandwich of plates and spacers, clamp it onto the upper buffer chamber, then pivot the sealing gasket and cast the gel. After polymerization, simply release the bottom seal and drop the assembly into the tank for running. No extra parts are needed and no unclamping until the run is finished
Extra length and compatible dimensions
The miniVE handles gel cassettes up to 10 × 10.5 cm (W × H), which increases the separation length by more than 30% over conventional 10 × 8 cm gels. In addition, miniVE is compatible with the glass plates, combs, and spacers of SE 260 Mini-Vertical units. For gradient gels, mini-Vertical Gel Casters can produce up to four identical gels at one time
The right power supplies
EPS 301 is the power supply of choice for the miniVE System. With ratings of 300 V and 400 mA, it is capable of both running and blotting gels. For faster transfers when blotting four gels at a time, use the EPS 2A200 for its higher current capability
