Invitrogen Mother and daughter E-Base Electrophoresis System

Invitrogen E-Gel Mother and daughter E-Base Electrophoresis System

**Unit has been tested to specifications. Has slight cosmetic blemishes from normal use. See photos for further details.

The E-Base device is an easy-to-use, programmable, automated device combining a base and power supply to simplify electrophoresis of pre-cast E-PAGE 48, E-PAGE 96, E-Gel 48, and E-Gel 96 gels from Life Technologies. Mother E-Base device built with an electrical plug that can connect directly to an electrical outlet. Used for electrophoresis of one E-PAGE 48/96 or E-Gel 48/96 gel. Daughter E-Base device connects to the Mother E-Base device, allowing the independent electrophoresis of two or more E-PAGE 48/96 or E-Gel 48/96 gels. Note: The Daughter E-Base device does not have an electrical plug and cannot be used without a Mother E-Base device. The E-Holder platform the E-Holder platform (EH-03) is compatible in size with standard automated systems for convenient loading of samples in a hands-free robot environment when the use of the E-Base devices is not practical or while in queue for its availability. 

The E-Gel 48 Medium Throughput DNA Electrophoresis System
E-Gel 48 gels are ready-to-use, precast agarose gels designed for medium throughput analysis of PCR products and DNA fragments. All E-Gel gels include a gel matrix and electrodes packaged inside a disposable, UV-transparent cassette. E-Gel 48 gels are incorporated with ethidium bromide, and contain 2 rows of wells, with 24 sample wells and 2 marker wells per row. Samples have a run length of 3.2 cm. E-Gel 48 gels can be loaded using multichannel pipettors or automated liquid handling systems. DNA bands resolve clearly in just 20 minutes or less. For precise and effortless tracking of gels, each cassette is individually labeled with an EAN39 bar code that is recognized by most commercially available robotic bar code readers.

The E-Gel 96 High Throughput DNA Electrophoresis System
Ready-to-use, precast E-Gel 96 gels are designed for fast, high throughput DNA electrophoresis. Like all E-Gel gels, E-Gel 96 gels include a gel matrix and electrodes packaged inside a disposable, UV-transparent cassette. Each gel contains 96 sample wells and 8 marker wells arranged in a patented staggered format that provides samples with a 1.6 cm run length. The gels are compatible with 8-, 12-, and 96-tip automated loading robots to provide optimum performance and resolution. With just 12-minute run times, up to 20,000 samples can be run in a single day, saving weeks of screening time. As with E-Gel 48 gels, each cassette is individually labeled with an EAN39 bar code that is recognized by most commercially available robotic bar code readers. E-Gel 96 gels are offered with a choice of ethidium bromide or SYBR Safe DNA Gel Stain incorporated in them.

E-PAGE 96 gels are self-contained, pre-cast gels that include a gel matrix and electrodes packaged inside a disposable, UV-transparent cassette. Each E-PAGE 96 gel contains 96 sample lanes and 8 marker lanes in a patented staggered well format with a 1.6 cm run length (Figure 1). The well openings of the E-PAGE 96 cassette are compatible with the standard 96-well plate format and can be conveniently loaded with a multichannel pipettor or 8-, 12-, or 96-tip liquid-handling robotic devices. E-PAGE 96 cassettes are conveniently opened with a butterfly opener to remove the gel for staining or blotting. In addition, each E-PAGE 96 cassette is labeled with an individual barcode to facilitate identification of the gel using commercial barcode readers.
