• View DNA migration and separation as it happens
• Blue light illumination - won't damage DNA
• Capture high resolution images without removing the gel from the tank

The myGel InstaView comes complete with everything needed to cast, run, and view mini electrophoresis gels, including an integrated power supply.

Gels are easily poured using the supplied trays, combs and leak-proof casting stand.  One large (10.5x10cm) or one small (10.5x6cm) gel is accommodated by the gel tank.

The power supply connects directly into the gel tank.  With no more leads to contend with the connection is guaranteed to be right, every time.  Output voltage can be adjusted to 35V, 50V, or 100V and run time can be set for up to 99 minutes.  If the lid is not properly in place a magnetic interlock between the gel tank and the lid prevents current from running through the system.

Once the system is set up, slide the mini LED transilluminator into place under the tank and at any time turn it on to view the run in real time.  An array of blue LEDs emits bright blue light at a wavelength of 465nm for optimal excitation of common green fluorescent stains such as SmartGlow, SYBYR Green and Gel Green, without damaging DNA.  An orange filter is incorporated into the lid for visualizing DNA bands eliminating the need for additional equipment or special glasses.

To document results, place the included gel imaging enclosure over top of the myGel InstaView and use the camera ap on any smart phone to capture high resolution images without removing the gel from the tank.  Images can easily be shared via email, text, or printed.

InstaView Gel Tank

The InstaView Gel Tank is the perfect choice for labs that prefer to use a separate power supply.  The InstaView Gel Tank accommodates one large (10.5x10cm) or one small (10.5x6cm) gel tray and is supplied with trays, combs and a leak-proof casting stand. The gel tank lid includes attached power leads which prevent the unit from operating without the lid properly in place. Any standard power supply can be connected, including the Accuris myVolt Mini and myVolt Touch.

RunBlue gels are more rigid and up to 10 times stronger than conventional precast gels resulting in more robust gels that can be handled with confidence. No tearing - an 8% gel can be thrown into the air and caught without breaking!

• RunBlue gels are manufactured using a unique method of polymerisation that results in more uniform and more complete polymerisation of the Acrylamide when compared to conventional, chemical based methods. This results in gels that have superior batch to batch reproducibility and practically eliminates exposure to un-polymerised Acrylamide.
• RunBlue gels incorporate a stacking gel that has been dyed (red for SDS) for the simplest ever sample loading. In addition, there is no comb to remove as the top of the teeth are fixed in place. This not only prevents the teeth from being accidentally torn off during comb removal but that all of the wells are uniform, with the teeth remaining vertical. This prevents sample cross contamination / inability to load desired Vol. The teeth also protrude above the lower front plate of the gel cassette preventing sample flow over into adjacent wells.
• Runblue gels are available in two different cassette sizes providing compatibility with the most common gel tanks and apparatus.  10x10 cm cassettes are compatible with Invitrogen/Life Technologies equipment and any other equipment designed for this format, such as the Hoeffer and Owl tanks. Our 8x10 cm cassette is designed to fit the Biorad equipment (Mini Protean I, II and II, Tetra etc).
• The resolving gel on RunBlue gels extends to the very bottom of the cassette which not only provides improved resolution but also there is no protruding gel that requires trimming prior to blotting. There is also no additional tape / covers to remove - simply take the gel from the pack and use.
• RunBlue gels are supplied in boxes of 10 gels. They are available in a 12 well format, covering a range of concentrations and gradients.

• Molded, durable construction
• Rubber gates for easy, tapeless gel casting
• Adjustable height combs
• Loading guides aid in well visualization

Enduro Horizontal Gel Boxes have been designed for ease of use, safety and durability. A variety of sizes are available, from a mini gel system to a large maxi gel system that can accommodate as many as 450 samples in a single run. A wide range of accessories are available to customize your system, including multichannel compatible gel combs.

QUALITY CONSTRUCTION - The Enduro gel tanks are molded for leakproof performance and a long service life. The corrosion resistant platinum electrodes are located in cassettes to protect them during cleaning and provide for easy replacement. The lids fit on the gel boxes in only one direction. A drip ring on the lid recycles condensed buffer and prevents it from dripping directly onto the gel.

EASE OF USE - Casting gels for the Enduro system is very easy. Simply snap the rubber gates onto the ends if the tray, place the comb in position and pour the gel - no taping is necessary. Slots on the sides of the gel trays hold the combs in place. The two piece combs are designed so that the teeth can be raised or lowered to vary the depth of the well within the gel. The supplied combs are 1.5 mm thick. Combs of other thicknesses are available separately. After the gel has hardened, the combs and gates are removed and the gel and tray placed in the gel box. Loading strips may be placed on the bottom of the gel box to aid in well visualization. Gel trays are UV transparent.

DESIGNED FOR SAFETY - The power leads for the Enduro system are attached to the gel box lid. The connection with the electrodes is made only when the lid is properly in place. Removal of the lid removes power from the system. Side tabs and pressure pads make lid removal easy and prevent sloshing of buffer.

Combs for E1015-10 & E1015-15

The Enduro 96 is an ideal complement to the Labnet Enduro Horizontal Gel Box line. The 96-well format unit is compatible with 8-channel pipettes and matches up with the standard 96 well plate configuration. The average run time is 15-30 minutes. The gel is in a 10 X 12 cm format with options for either 1 or 2 marker lanes. The layout of wells is designed to allow a run length of 1.8 cm per sample providing ideal separation. For those who already own an Enduro E1010, the Enduro 96 comb sets are available and compatible with these existing units.
Features include:

• 96 well format
• MCP compatible
• For high throughput analysis of PCR products

Model D3-14 Centipede Wide Gel Electrophoresis System

Gel Size: 23cmW x 14cmL
Footprint: 27cmW x 30cmL x 11cmH
Running Buffer Volume: 800ml
Great for Screening PCR Samples

The Owl Centipede horizontal model D3-14 wide gel system offers a simple, convenient and fast method for screening multiple samples on a single agarose gel. Ideal for screening PCR samples, plasmid preps, restriction mapping and cloning. 25 to 200 samples can be run simultaneously on one gel; producing clear, tight banding patterns with no "smiling". 

The Centipede System incorporates Owl's EasyCast casting design with an external caster. The UVT gel tray is fitted with a gasket which allows the tray to fit snugly into the external gel caster to provide a leakproof seal without tape. Sample loading is greatly enhanced using micro well pipette format combs (and a multichannel pipette) engineered specifically for use with this system. Using these combs and a multichannel pipette, samples may be loaded directly from a 96-well plate, 8 or 12 at a time. Sample loading with a multichannel pipette speeds up transfer and reduces the chance of sample order error. The unique electrode placement allows this gel to be run quickly without compromising the resolution.

PR1MA™ Mini Gel Electrophoresis System

• Complete system, includes gel box, power supply and casting sets
• Quick and easy gel casting, no tape, clamps or spacers required
• Compact design, footprint: 7 x 5.1 in.

The PR1MA™ Mini Gel electrophoresis system includes all of the equipment that you need to get up and running: gel tank, power supply and two casting sets. Ideal for personal use, small laboratories or the classroom, this gel box/power supply combination is compact and easy to use.

The mini gel box attaches directly to the power supply for a secure connection every time. Selectable parameters include 3 preset voltages – 35V, 50V or 100V – and a 99-minute timer. All are set using the membrane keypad.

The safety lid is vented to help dissipate heat generated during electrophoresis and features a viewing area above the gel. Current will only run through the system when the lid is properly in place on top of the gel box.
