Model SA Sequencing Gel Electrophoresis ApparatusModular sequencing system for variable separation lengths
- Adjustable to four different heights
- Internal drain system for safe buffer disposal
- Integral Aluminum plate for even heat distribution minimizes smiling effects
Height adjustable system The Model SA Sequencing system is available with different apparatus heights. In addition, existing systems can be extended with a middle section to increase separation distance. The 43 cm version uses gels that perfectly fit the Hitachi FM-Bio Phosphor Imager.
No smiling effect or distorted bands The S2 sequencing apparatus features an integrated Aluminum plate to which the glass plate sandwich is directly attached. Due to the high thermal conductivity of Aluminum even temperature distribution across the gel is achieved. In conventional systems, higher central temperature in the gel led to faster migration of bands in this area (reason for the so called smiling effect).
Optimized handling The SA2 Sequencing Apparatus provides and internal drain system for save buffer disposal. After the run a valve is opened to release the upper buffer volume to the lower buffer chamber. The lower buffer tray can then be removed for safe buffer disposable. This feature is especially important when radioactive samples have been separated.
