About This Product
This unit combines electrophoresis and transillumination, so DNA bands can be watched as they separate, in as little as five minutes, and photographed with a phone, tablet or camera. Blue LED lighting gives uniform illumination with no edge artifacts. The seamless casting tray avoids leaks, and the 6 cm gel length separates tight bands. Besides buyers across India, the Electrophoresis Unit (with built-in illuminator) can be exported to institutions in Colombia, Mexico, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Uganda and Indonesia.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Is UV protection needed?
No. The unit uses blue LED light with safe green DNA dyes, so there is no need for UV protection or ethidium bromide.
Q2. How many wells can a gel have?
The comb configuration allows 9 to 26 wells per gel, using one or two rows of combs with 9 or 13 wells each.
