Electrophoresis Demonstration Kit

Kit Includes:

• (1) Electrophroesis Apparatus (# B4002-1)
• (1) Power Supply (# B4002-30)
• (1) Adjustable Volume Pipettor (# 3824-4)
• (1) Introduction to Electrophoresis Set

Electrophoresis Apparatus: The new horizontal electrophoresis apparatus was designed with safety and convenience in mind. The injection-molded UV transparent chamber is made from thick acrylic, making it durable and leak-proof while the lid fits securely in place and can easily be removed. Features adjustable leveling feet, recessed electrical wires, and a safety stop that prevents the gel from running when the cover is not securely fitted. Each casting tray with embossed gel ruler has rubber end caps and multiple slots for easy and versatile comb placement.

This unit requires 500mL of buffer and a power supply.

Unit Includes:

• (1) Injection-molded UV Transparent Base
• (1) Transparent Cover
• (1) 7x14cm Casting Tray with Embossed Gel Ruler & Rubber End Caps
• (1) 8/10 Comb Combo
• (2) 6-Tooth Comb

Adjustable Volume Pipettor: 5-100ul (micro-liter). Comfortable hand holding, easy to read, lockable volume, chemical resistant body.

Introduction to Electrophoresis Set: This economical 2-part exercise provides an introduction to agarose gel electrophoresis. In the first part of the exercise, students identify unknown dye molecules by comparing their electrophoretic migration with the migration of known dyes. In the second part students identify dye molecules that bind to DNA and determine the mechanism. The exercise was designed for 16 students working in pairs, requires two 40-60 minute lab periods.
