Vertical Electrophoresis

Description

Professional Vertical Electrophoresis Cell (Protein Polyacrylamide Gel System)

The Professional Vertical Electrophoresis Cell is a high-performance laboratory apparatus engineered for the rapid separation and analysis of protein molecules, nucleic acids, and small DNA fragments. Universally utilized in biochemistry, molecular biology, and proteomics laboratories, this unit is highly optimized for running polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE, SDS-PAGE, and native PAGE) as well as two-dimensional (2D) electrophoresis setups with exceptional band resolution and reproducibility.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Leak-Free Casting & Rapid Run Environment

Featuring a precision-molded glass plate system with integrated permanent spacers, the apparatus guarantees a perfect, leak-free seal during gel casting. The advanced core structure ensures uniform pressure distribution along the entire length of the gel, preventing sample bypass or uneven front running lanes.

2. Efficient Buffer-Mediated Cooling Design

The dual-vertical configuration relies on an inner core design where the inner buffer chamber is completely surrounded by the outer running buffer. This large thermal mass acts as an integrated heat sink, dissipating heat generated by high electrical currents to eliminate smiling effects and thermal band distortion.

3. Safe-Lock Shrouded Power System

Engineered with absolute operator safety in mind, the cell includes an integrated safety lid with attached, recessed power leads. The electrical circuit can only be completed when the lid is securely oriented onto the cell body, protecting laboratory personnel from accidental high-voltage electrical shocks.

4. Unobstructed High-Clarity Chamber Construction

The main tank housing is injection-molded from high-transparency, chemically resistant polycarbonate. This rugged, seamless design prevents buffer leakage, allows clear, unhindered observation of the tracking dye migrating down the gel lanes, and easily withstands long-term routine laboratory use.
