Cleaver Scientific (CSL) has developed its range of electrophoresis products.
The range now includes the compact CSL Multisub Midi 96 and 96 Stretch system, which can be used in conjunction with samples from 96 well plates to allow direct loading and identification of samples.
With an average runtime of 15-30min, the Midi 96 system enables rapid identification of samples, with direct and rapid sample loading facilitated using eight-channel pipettes.
Four comb options are available - 8MC with one or two marker lanes in 1 or 1,5mm thickness.
The run length between lanes is 1.8cm for the MSMIDI96 version and 3.6cm for the Stretch version, which also includes capability for increased capacity, allowing samples from two Micro titre plates to be loaded.
The CSL range of gel-electrophoresis tanks 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 leak-proof gel casting.
Options for gel size, sample number and volume, along with five thicknesses of comb, are offered.
There are also 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 that include a loading guide on the reverse.
Gel sizes offered range from 7 x 7cm up to 33 x 45cm.
Cleaver offers options to enhance the visibility of the wells during gel loading, such as using an inert dye that is used to stain the stacking layer of protein gels.
Most tanks in the range have the option of rapid setup cooling without the need for a chiller and most gel tanks have the option of buffer saving and casting of multiple gels at the same time.
Cleaver also offers products for post electrophoresis applications, such as gel cutting tips that can be used for gene cloning.
The company also offers a range of power supplies with increased current capacities, enabling high-intensity blotting and the connection of multiple gel tanks to one power supply.
