Great instrument. It helped our lab a lot.
Isoelectric Focussing (IEF)
Easy to use, produces good results for a method which is normally not too easy to perform.
Review Date: 16 Jan 2019 | SERVA Electrophoresis GmbH
The HPE™ BlueHorizon™ is a flatbed system for horizontal electrophoresis using precast gels, self-cast gels and gel strips.
Main applications are isoelectric focusing (IEF) including the run of IPG strips (like SERVA IPG BlueStrips) in 2D electrophoresis and SDS PAGE, but also the separation of nucleic acids in polyacrylamide gels. The unit consists of a stable metal housing and an integrated drawer. The drawer holds the cooling plate with connectors for the external refrigeration system (e.g. the circulatory refrigerator bath HPE™ Cooling Unit, cat. no. HPE-CU1).
The cooling plate is made from special ceramic material (maximum gel size 260 x 205 mm) for efficient cooling. It provides even heat dissipation, allowing to run gels at a temperature as low as 4 °C. This is particularly important when applying high voltage to thin isoelectric focusing (IEF) gels. The HPE™ BlueHorizon™ is a very flexible system that could easily be extended to a two-, three- or four-deck system, still under the control of one power supply and one chiller. Stabilizing feets and clamps are available.
Features:
- High capacity cooling plate
- For all kinds of film-backed gels
- Economical reagent usage
- Smart design - made in Germany
Precast Gels for Urinary Protein Diagnostics: Electrophoresis of Urinary Proteins with SDS Urine Gels
Proteinuria, the presence of abnormal amounts of protein in urine, can be an indicator of kidney and kidney-related diseases. Detection of proteins in a urine sample can be performed with electrophoresis, this application note describes a method using SDS electrophoresis with polyacrylamide gel, this provides high resolution images and has greater detection sensitivity than agarose gel electrophoresis.
Reliable Multiple Sclerosis Diagnostics with FocusGel: Isoelectric Focusing of Serum and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
This application note looks at how FocusGel can be used for isoelectric focusing (IEF) providing less false positives than traditional agarose gels and improved handling due to its non-toxicity. The results from this can then be used in the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
