MultiSUB Maxi Horizontal Gel Tank: High-Throughput Resolution
The MultiSUB Maxi Horizontal Gel Tank is the ultimate solution for laboratories conducting high-throughput analysis, primarily designed for resolving high numbers of samples from cloning or PCR experiments. By offering a large gel surface area, this system facilitates ultra-high-resolution separations over extended runs, ensuring distinct band separation even for complex sample sets.
Engineered for versatility, the MultiSUB Maxi supports four different gel tray sizes—ranging from 20 x 10cm to 20 x 25cm—allowing researchers to scale their analysis based on sample volume and run length requirements. The unit is compatible with multichannel pipettes and standard blotter sizes, making sample transfer onto membranes for further analysis seamless and efficient.
Key Benefits:
- High-Throughput Capacity: Up to 550 samples. The system accommodates maximum sample loading using 50-sample combs, making it ideal for large-scale screening.
- Extended Resolution: Long run lengths. Tray sizes up to 25cm allow for extended electrophoretic runs, providing superior band separation for critical analysis.
- Versatile Tray Options: Four sizes available. The unit supports 20 x 10cm, 20 x 15cm, 20 x 20cm, and 20 x 25cm trays, offering flexibility for various application needs.
- Rapid Gel Casting: Leak-free external casting. Included casting dams allow gels to be cast externally while the tank remains in use, ensuring a continuous workflow.
- Blotting Compatible: Standard dimensions. Tray sizes correspond to standard blotter dimensions, facilitating easy transfer to membranes.
