Mupid-One Accessories: Casting Sets, Trays & Combs
Ensure the continued high performance of your Mupid™-One Electrophoresis System (G9-2500) with this range of genuine accessories and replacement parts. Whether expanding your laboratory’s throughput or replacing worn components, these parts are manufactured to the exact specifications of the original Mupid-One unit, guaranteeing seamless compatibility and reliable results.
The Mupid-One system is renowned for its heat-resistant materials and user-friendly design. These accessories maintain those standards, utilising robust plastics that withstand high running temperatures and allow for direct UV visualisation. From versatile casting stands that accommodate multiple tray sizes to precision combs ensuring well-defined wells, this selection supports a flexible and efficient electrophoresis workflow.
Key Benefits:
- Perfect Compatibility: Genuine Spares. Manufactured specifically for the Mupid-One system, ensuring a secure fit and leak-free casting.
- Heat Resistance: Durable Material. Gel trays and casting stands are designed to withstand the heat generated during high-voltage runs without warping.
- UV Transparency: Direct Visualisation. Components are UV-transparent, allowing for band checking on a transilluminator without removing the gel from the tray.
- Versatile Casting: Flexible Options. Casting stands and combs are designed to handle both large and small gel formats, adapting to variable sample numbers.
Upgrade Your System: Real-Time Visualisation
Transform your electrophoresis workflow with the Mupid™ LED Illuminator (G9-2502). This innovative add-on replaces the standard Mupid-One lid, integrating a safe Blue LED transilluminator directly into the unit. This allows for real-time visualisation of DNA migration without the hazards of UV light, eliminating the need to move gels to a separate darkroom and protecting your samples from UV-induced degradation.
