Product Description
Brand Thermo Fisher Scientific
Model Mini
Capacity 500 VDC
CAT No A25977
Application Electrophoresis
The Mini Gel Tank is a vertical mini-gel electrophoresis system with a unique tank design that has convenient side-by-side gel loading and enhanced viewing during use. The tank can accommodate up to two gels per run with each gel run in its own separate chamber, making it easy to run just one gel and enabling the use of just enough buffer for one gel. The tank is compatible with all Invitrogen pre-cast mini gels and SureCast handcast gels.
Reliable Electrophoresis PlatformEngineered for routine DNA, RNA, and protein separation, the Mini Gel Tank combines durability with high performance. Its robust construction, transparent body, and safety features make it a popular choice among research labs and educational institutions.
Safety and Usability FeaturesThe system incorporates advanced safety mechanisms, including an interlocking safety lid and electrical interlock, to prevent accidental exposure to electrical currents. Its leak-resistant design further minimizes spill risks, making it safer for everyday use.
Flexible and Convenient OperationsHolding up to two mini gels and supporting a buffer volume between 650 mL and 1200 mL, this tank supports medium-throughput experiments. The compatibility with a wide voltage range (100-240 V, 18W) allows easy integration into most lab setups across India.
FAQ's of Thermo Fisher Scientific Mini Gel Tank:
Q: How do I set up the Thermo Fisher Mini Gel Tank for electrophoresis?
A: To set up the Mini Gel Tank, insert the mini gels (8.3 x 7.3 cm) and fill the chamber with buffer, ensuring the volume is between 650 mL and 1200 mL. Secure the interlocking safety lid before connecting the tank to a compatible power supply.
Q: What applications can this Mini Gel Tank be used for?
A: This tank is designed for the electrophoretic separation of DNA, RNA, and proteins, making it suitable for a wide range of molecular biology and biochemistry experiments.
Q: When should I use the interlocking safety lid feature?
A: Always use the interlocking safety lid during operation. This lid not only prevents accidental exposure to electrical currents but also ensures the unit will not function without proper closure, enhancing laboratory safety.
Q: Where can I purchase the Thermo Fisher Mini Gel Tank in India?
