Add Colour to your Electrophoresis with Scie-Plas Rainbow-Gels
29 Apr 2008Product news
Scie-Plas are pleased to introduce their new Rainbow-gels. Available in seven attractive coloured acrylic tints corresponding to the seven colours of the rainbow, each Rainbow-gel horizontal is colour-coded either to differentiate between those units designated for individual use or for a specific electrophoresis-based technique - for example northern blotting.
Depending on the width and number of gel-casting trays, Scie-Plas Rainbow-gels are manufactured in SVG-SYS MINI, TVG-SYS MIDI and VG-SYS MAXI formats:
- SVG-SYS MINI format: A 7-cm wide horizontal gel electrophoresis unit with 2 gel-casting trays: 7x7cm & 7x10cm (WxL);
- TVG-SYS MIDI format: A 10-cm wide horizontal gel electrophoresis unit with 3 gel-casting trays: 10x7cm, 10x10cm & 10x15cm (WxL);
- VG-SYS MAXI format: A 15cm wide horizontal gel electrophoresis unit with 4 gel-casting trays: 15x7cm, 15x10cm, 15x15cm & 15x20cm (WxL).

ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis equipment is used to separate mixtures of protein, DNA or RNA, based on their electric charge, size and other physical characteristics, by passing them through a medium such as a polyacrylamide gel, an agarose gel or a capillary tube. Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners.
