Model SA Sequencing Gel Electrophoresis Apparatus

Modular sequencing system for variable separation lengths

  • Adjustable to four different heights
  • Internal drain system for safe buffer disposal
  • Integral Aluminum plate for even heat distribution minimizes smiling effects

Height adjustable system
The Model SA Sequencing system is available with different apparatus heights. In addition, existing systems can be extended with a middle section to increase separation distance.

No smiling effect or distorted bands
The S2 sequencing apparatus features an integrated Aluminum plate to which the glass plate sandwich is directly attached. Due to the high thermal conductivity of Aluminum even temperature distribution across the gel is achieved. In conventional systems, higher central temperature in the gel led to faster migration of bands in this area (reason for the so called smiling effect).

Optimized handling
The SA2 Sequencing Apparatus provides and internal drain system for save buffer disposal. After the run a valve is opened to release the upper buffer volume to the lower buffer chamber. The lower buffer tray can then be removed for safe buffer disposable. This feature is especially important when radioactive samples have been separated.
