Eco-Mini

Modular, tank-style model designed for the separation of proteins in vertical 9.4 x 8.0 cm polyacrylamide (PAGE) gels.

  • Runs 1 or 2 gels simultaneously
  • Glass plates with fixed glass spacers
  • Interchangeable modules for electrophoresis and blotting

Eco-Mini accomodates a variety of separation techniques, including SDS-PAGE, native, preparative and gradient electrophoresis, as well as blotting applications.

The Gel Module for electrophoresis accepts hand-cast gels as well as pre-cast gels in plastic cassettes. Glass plates for 10.5 cm to 11.0 cm with and up to 11.5 cm lenghth can be used with the module. Applicable pre-cast gel sizes are 8.0 cm x 10.0 cm to 10.0 cm x 10.0 cm.

For quick and easy gel casting of 1 or 2 gels the Gel Module fits to the special designed Casting Stand. Glass plates with fixed spacers in combination with the improved visco-elastic polymeric gaskets guarantee leakproof and bubble free gel casting.

To cast gels, load the glass plates to the Gel Module, fix them with the integrated mechanism and place the assembly into the Casting Stand. After polymerisation remove the assembly from the Casting Stand and drop into the buffer tank for the electrophoresis run.

Locator slots which are built into the buffer tank offer easy and quick sliding of the Gel Module into locked position. Applied into the buffer tank the Gel Module forms the upper/inner buffer chamber.

For temperature controlled runs a buffer tank with built-in cooling base is available. This buffer tank is additionally compatible with the Blot Module of the Tankblot Eco-Mini.

To configure systems related to special customer requirements all necessary accessories are available separately.
