IBI Scientific, JSB-302, Double Wide Mini Gel-O Horizontal Electrophoresis System

JSB-302 Includes Only:

• Lid
• UVT casting tray (10 cm)
• Casting fixture (10 cm)
• One 1.5 mm x 27 tooth comb
• Comb holder
• Bubble level
• Adjustable feet

Features:

• The Jordan Double Wide Horizontal Mini Gel-O Submarine System is used for mini gel format quick screens with up to 36 samples per run.
• This system can process a large number of samples and is ideal for PCR fragment analysis or recombinant screening.
• The additional casting systems come in 7.5 cm length or 5.0 cm length.

The maximum suggested applied voltage for the electrophoresis of DNA in agarose gels using the JSB-302 is 150 volts. In a 1% TBE gel, this translates into a run time of approximately one hour. Lower voltages may be used; as a general rule, a 75 V run will take twice as long as a 150 V run. Higher voltages may be used to decrease run time; however, if the unit is being operated at higher than 150 V the heat generated during electrophoresis may decrease sample resolution. Such artifacts may be avoided by running the unit in a cold room or adding 1X electrophoresis buffer "ice cubes" to keep the unit adequately cooled. The suggested run parameters for the electrophoresis of RNA in agarose gels containing formaldehyde are 60-80 volts.
