FAQs of Vertical Electrophoresis:
Q: How do I assemble and disassemble the vertical electrophoresis system?
A: The system features a tool-free assembly and disassembly design. Simply align the componentstank, gel cassettes, and safety lidaccording to the user manual. All parts snap or slide into place easily, allowing efficient setup and cleaning without specialized tools.
Q: What sample capacities and gel sizes are supported?
A: This unit supports mini-gel formats up to 100 x 80 mm. With two sample combs, it can run up to 40 samples per session, facilitating high-throughput analyses suitable for research or clinical workloads.
Q: When is the use of the safety features recommended during operation?
A: Always ensure the safety lid is securely in place before powering the system. The auto power cut-off activates if the lid is removed during operation, preventing accidental electrical exposure and safeguarding users at all times.
Q: Where can this electrophoresis system be used?
A: This device is ideal for biotechnology and molecular biology labs, clinical laboratories, and research facilities. Its robust construction and plug compatibility make it suitable for institutions across India and internationally.
Q: What is the process for running a gel electrophoresis experiment with this unit?
A: Prepare your gel in the cassette, insert it into the tank, fill the buffer reservoir (approx. 1000 ml), load your samples using the combs, and start the run with a standard power supply. Monitor the run through the transparent tank and ensure temperature does not exceed 50C.
Q: How does the platinum-coated electrode benefit my experiments?
A: Platinum-coated electrodes offer superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring consistent electric fields and extended device longevity. This results in reliable, reproducible electrophoresis outcomes.
