Product overview:The Owl™ Dual‑Gel Vertical Electrophoresis Systems (models P8DS, P9DS, P10DS) allow casting and running one or two vertical gels in a single apparatus. Designed for laboratory workflow, the units accept 20 x 20 cm gels and offer buffer volumes suitable for small (300 mL) or larger (1250 mL) systems. The assembly incorporates an acrylic fabrication method and a central cooling core for controlled heat dissipation.
Simple, six‑step use:- Secure the glass cassettes
- Pour the agarose or polyacrylamide solution
- Install the specially designed trough
- Cast polyacrylamide in the cassettes (when applicable)
- Load samples
- Run the gel
Key features:- Manufactured in acrylic using an established fabrication process for laboratory equipment compatibility
- Central cooling core provides even cooling across the gel surface for improved resolution and clear banding
- Cooling achieved by circulating fluid through the core with an external circulator or cool tap water
- Simple clamping mechanism accommodates glass cassettes and most manufacturers' precast gels
- Dual‑gel capability: cast and run one or two gels simultaneously
Recommended applications:- SDS‑PAGE electrophoresis
- Second dimension in two‑dimensional (2‑D) electrophoresis workflows
- Agarose gel electrophoresis
- Native electrophoresis
