SCILOGEX VS20 WAVE Maxi Gel Vertical Electrophoresis Systems
from Scilogex, LLC.
Discontinued
Run 2-4 gels simultaneously.
- Customizable system.
- Fast set-up.
- Reproducible separations.
Features:
- The new VS20 ‘WAVE’ Maxi System is our latest product innovation for large format vertical gel electrophoresis.
- Designed to perform a variety of separations, including first and second-dimension SDS-PAGE, native, preparative, gradient and high-resolution nucleic acid electrophoresis, plus capillary tube gel IEF and electroblotting, the VS20 WAVE is one of the most versatile maxi vertical systems available.
- By introducing innovative, new vertical screw-clamp technology within the PAGE insert only four screws are now necessary to secure as many 20x20cm gels.
- This gives the VS20 WAVE Maxi the selective advantage of a much faster set up speed compared to competitor products whose traditional clamping configurations require as many as 24 screws to secure just two glass plates.
- In addition, the WAVE’s vertical screw-clamp configuration distributes pressure evenly along the height of the gel rather than in the center to eliminate plate bowing and gel compression, but still maintains a leak-proof seal during casting; while the ergonomic wave-like design of the PAGE insert aids both handling and set up.
- Whatever your requirements are the WAVE can be made to meet them.
- Regardless of whether it is running 2 or 4 gels, electroblotting, and IEF using capillary tube gels or IPG strips, all of these techniques may be performed using the same omni-purpose unit while retaining the benefits of large format electrophoresis, such as extended separation distances, greater sample throughput and superior resolution.
Versatility and Adaptability.
- More Gels - run 2-4 gels simultaneously in standard 2-gel WAVE and 4-gel WAVE TETRAD systems.
- Customize your system - for second-dimension runs with 18cm IPG strips and gels using the IEF conversion kit.
- Utilize modular inserts - with the same universal tank and lid to extend the application of your standard WAVE unit to create a complete 2-D or blotting system.
- WAVEC2DS with capillary tube gel insert for 2-D electrophoresis.
- WAVECBS and WAVETETRAD-CBS for 2- and 4-gel electroblotting.
Reproducible Separations.
- Vertical screw-clamps distribute pressure evenly along the height of the gel to prevent plate bowing and gel compression.
- Glass plates compress gently against a flat, level gasket to prevent current leakage from the inner buffer chamber during electrophoresis.
- Detachable inner cooling coil connects to the laboratory water supply or a recirculating chiller to provide uniform, smile-free electrophoresis, while allowing runs to be performed at higher voltage.
- Deep gel tank with adequate clearance beneath the glass plates to allow a magnetic stirrer to maintain buffer recirculation and uniform pH.
Casting Advantages.
- Dual purpose PAGE insert eliminates time-consuming transfer of glass plates between separate casting and running modules.
- Ground glass plates with bonded injection moulded spacers consistent with comb thickness ensure ‘clean’ well formation, as well as the correct alignment for leak-free casting; also eliminate the need for easily mislaid and awkward to use spacer aligners.
- Very forgiving, ultra-soft silicone mat within cam-caster compensates for glass plate misalignment to ensure leak-free casting.
Other Benefits.
- Notched glass plates with bonded spacers supplied with WAVETETRAD systems allow gel capacity to be doubled from 2 to 4, while dummy plate allows single gels to be run.
- Bonded spacers and combs colour coded for thickness.
- Widest selection of combs allow separation of up to 192 samples.
- Robust 4-mm-thick glass plates.
- Asymmetric lid design and colour-coded screw pins in PAGE insert prevent polarity reversal.
- All parts injection moulded using durable industrial-grade plastic to guarantee longevity and reliable and consistent performance.
