Cleaver Scientific has developed a range of electrophoresis products, including the CSL Multisub Midi 96 system.
This system can be used in conjunction with samples from 96 well plates to allow direct loading and easy identification of samples.
With an average run time of 15-30 minutes, the Midi 96 system enables rapid identification of samples, with direct and rapid sample loading facilitated using eight-channel pipettes.
Flexibility and choice are among the features of the CSL range of gel electrophoresis tanks, which comprises horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis tanks, blotting systems, comet assay, cellulose acetate, 2D systems, power supplies, DNA sequencers and gel-documentation systems.
These are suitable for a variety of DNA, RNA and protein gel electrophoresis applications and analysis.
Constructed using injection-moulding technology and made from durable, resistant materials, the tanks offer easy-to-use leak-proof gel casting to save time in the laboratory.
Among the choices offered are more options for gel size, sample number and volume, along with five thicknesses of comb.
In addition, there are more preparative, high-sample number and multi-channel pipette-compatible comb options and combs that are height-adjustable and warp-proof.
There are also options for the type of comb, with double-sided, two-combs-in-one and combination combs, which include a loading guide on the reverse, aiding sample loading.
Gel sizes offered range from 7 x 7cm up to 33 x 45cm.
Cleaver Scientific also offers other options to enhance the visibility of the wells during gel loading, such as using an inert dye, which is used to stain the stacking layer of protein gels.
Most tanks in the range have the option of rapid set-up cooling with no chiller required.
The company said these save time and expense in the laboratory and allow high-resolution results to be achieved with the minimum of time and effort.
Most gel tanks have the option of buffer saving and casting of multiple gels at the same time, which also provides increased consistency.
In addition, Cleaver Scientific offers products that provide benefits for post-electrophoresis applications, such as gel-cutting tips which are an extremely useful tool for gene cloning.
The company also offers a range of power supplies with increased current capacities.
These enable high-intensity blotting and the connection of multiple gel tanks to one power supply without compromising run conditions, saving on bench space and cost.
