Enduro
Vertical
Electrophoresis Gel System
The Enduro Vertical PAGE System is modular - allowing PAGE,
electroblotting and 2D gel electrophoresis to be carried out in
the same tank, simply by changing the inserts. Users can
purchase only the parts they need, or a complete combined system
for a cost savings over buying all three systems separately.
MODULAR SYSTEM -
The modularity of the Enduro System is based on
three operational inserts and a common buffer tank. All three
inserts, PAGE, electroblotting and 2D electrophoresis, have
their own electrode assembly that connects into the lid of the
buffer tank.
PAGE INSERT -
Set up of gels is quick and easy with the PAGE
insert. A set of plates are placed on either side of the insert
and held into place by the pressure bar. An additional gel may
be run on each side by stacking the plates. The assembly is then
placed into the casting stand for pouring the gel. After the gel
is polymerized, the insert is removed from the casting stand and
placed in the buffer tank.
ELECTROBLOTTING
INSERT -
The electroblotting insert has a capacity for 3
gels. Setting up blots is easy - gels are sandwiched in the
blotting cassettes with the transfer membranes. The cassettes
are then placed in the insert, which is in turn placed in the
buffer tank. Coiled electrodes in the insert generate a high
intensity current, allowing transfer to take place in about an
hour.
2D
ELECTROPHORESIS INSERT -
This insert is used for running the first
dimension of IEF gels. Up to ten 8 cm gels are poured in
disposable capillary tubes and placed in this insert. Gasketed
ports allow for easy insertion and removal of tubes. Blocking
plugs are included for closing off ports that are not in use.
BUILT FOR SAFETY AND ENDURANCE -
For leakproof performance and a long service
life, the buffer tank is molded from high quality acrylic. Pins
on the top of the inserts ensure that the lid is placed onto the
insert in the proper orientation. These pins also aid in removal
of the lid. Removing the lid disconnects power to the
electrodes.
ACCEPTS MOST PRE-CAST GELS -
Most precast gels, including NuSep, Bio-Rad,
Invitrogen and Cambrex can be used with the Enduro PAGE System.
The use of precast gels saves time by eliminating the need to
pour gels and wait while they polymerize.
WIDE
RANGE OF ACCESSORIES -
A variety of combs and spacers of varying widths
are available to customize your Enduro system. All are color
coded and clearly marked for easy identification. Both notched
and plain plates can be purchased with spacers permanently bound
for easy set up. Additional fiber pads and replacement cassettes
are also available as well as capillary tubes, blanking ports
and tube supports. Cooling packs are also available to help
reduce buffer temperature during higher voltage or longer runs.
