The VG-FAST96 - a 96-well solution for high throughput screening of PCR products from Scie-Plas

29 Aug 2007

The VG-FAST96 Vari-gel MAXI system is a fast high throughput solution for molecular genetic studies, allowing up to 96 single-strand polymorphisms (SSPs), 50 to 1000 base pairs in size, to be separated and screened within 30 minutes.

Benefits include: -

  • Six 17-sample combs - enable SSPs to be loaded onto the gel quickly, 8 at a time by multi-channel pipette, while a central marker lane allows both sets of 8 SSPs to be easily distinguished within each row
  • Compact gel tank - minimises the buffer volume required to cover the gel, maximising the voltage gradient and separation speed
  • Robust acrylic gel tray - fits conveniently on standard transilluminators for easy visualisation, while fluorescent numbering aids SNP recognition and traceability
  • Ideal for use - with 96-well microtitre plates or 96-well blocks of the TC-412 and TC-512 Techne® thermal cyclers, also available from Scie-Plas

Specification

  • Gel Size (W x L): 16 x 17.5cm
  • Buffer Volume: 950ml
  • Maximum Sample Capacity: 96 + 8
  • Comb Throughput: 17 samples; 2 x 8 loaded by multi-channel pipette; 1 x marker

VG-FAST96 High Throughput Vari-gel MAXI System

Scie-Plas Ltd

Fast, high throughput microplate compatible electrophoresis The VG-FAST96 high throughput Vari-gel MAXI system is the latest addition to the Scie-Plas Vari-gel Range, providing a swift and simple solution for the screening and analysis of up to 96 single-strand polymorphisms (SSPs) following PCR amplification in 96-well microplates. A single gel tray with UV-fluorescent numbering allows up to 96 SSPs to loaded directly onto the tray, 8 at a time by multi-channel pipette, so that each SSP is automatically numbered for gel documentation, simplifying post-electrophoretic analysis.This unit is ideal for use with 96-well microtitre plates or or the 96-well blocks of the Techne TC412 and TC512 thermal cyclers which are also available through Scie-Plas.VG-FAST96 High Throughput Vari-gel MAXI System Features: Single gel tray with fluorescent numbering - allows up to 96 SSPs to be loaded directly onto the tray, so that each SSP is automatically numbered for gel photography, simplifying postelectrophoretic analysis 6 comb slots - positioned at 25mm intervals along the gel tray allow SSPs to be separated in less than 30 minutes using the appropriate running conditions (see Technical Specification) Six 17-sample combs - with each marker lane positioned centrally - enables SSPs to be loaded onto the gel quickly, 8 at a time by multi-channel pipette Compact tank - reduces the buffer volume required to cover the gel, providing greater control over the voltage gradient and run-time Robust acrylic casting tray – Uvtransparent for visualisation with fluorescent numbering for SNP recognition and traceability Ideal for use - either with 96-well microtitre plates or 96-well blocks Buffer recirculation ports - may be connected to a peristaltic pump for buffer recirculation during electrophoresis
