Product news
The new ORIGINS by Elchrom Scientific is the first electrophoresis system with an integrated cooling/heating system, temperature control, homogeneous buffer recirculation, and a completely uniform electric field to provide full control of all electrophoresis parameters. Used in combination with precast gels of a proprietary non-agarose non-acrylamide matrix, 1bp resolution can be achieved in an 8cm format.
The unique gel matrix also allows for direct recovery of samples, meaning bands can be excised and used directly for cloning, sequencing, re-amplification, etc without the use of expensive gel purification columns and kits.
Multiple gel formulations are available to fulfill a variety of applications and separation requirements.

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.
