Gel Electrophoresis Tanks - Vertical - Cleaver Scientific
 

The omniPAGE mini wide vertical gel unit with a gel width of 20cm effectively allows double the number of samples to be resolved as the omniPAGE mini unit. This allows consistency of sample comparison on a single gel and is designed for those with greater than 20 samples to compare and resolve.

Simple set up using ultra soft silicone seals guarantees trouble free glass plate loading and gel casting. Dual gaskets on the gel running insert along with notched and plain glass plates ensure leak proof gel running. Rapid set up cooling retains resolution in extended separations and also saves on buffer volume without affecting run quality.

4mm thick glass plates reduce breakage and have bonded spacers for added convenience. A wide range of accessories is available allowing many techniques to be performed using the same unit. Prep combs can be used to maximise sample loading and recovery.

Accessory electroblotting and tube gel modules are available which use the same outer tank and lid

Gel Electrophoresis Blotters & Accessories - Cleaver

These Semi Dry Blotters offer rapid transfer times for DNA, RNA and protein blotting – typically 15 to 30 minutes. All units can be used for all types of blotting: western, southern and northern via uncomplicated buffer and set up procedures and are compatible with gel thicknesses from 0.25 up to 10mm without the need for additional equipment. Each unit is compatible with their respective omniPAGE vertical gel system. Semi Dry Blotting has the added benefit of economic transfers due to very low buffer volumes – typically only a few millilitres of buffer are required per transfer. These Semi-Dry Blotters utilise a screw down lid, which secures the blot sandwich and allows complete control of pressure ensuring even transfer. The electrodes, comprising platinum coated anode and stainless steel cathode, will exhibit practically no corrosion and so provide many years of trouble free use. Uniform heat dispersion across the blot sandwich ensures stable transfer times and no heat induced sample loss or transfer distortions. Being translucent, it allows viewing of the blot sandwich to ensure correct positioning and transfer is occurring correctly. Electrode plates are fully separated to prevent arching or damage.

• Rapid transfer times
• Western, Southern and Northern Blots
• Economic Transfers due to very low buffer volumes
• Screw down lid – gels from 0.25 up to 10mm thick can be blotted
• Uniform heat dispersion
• Long life electrodes

Gel Electrophoresis Tanks - Horizontal - Cleaver Scientific

Designed for rapid screening of very large numbers of Clonal or PCR samples, the multiSUB Screen horizontal gel unit has a 672 maximum sample capacity per gel. This allows loading and analysis of exactly seven 96 well format micro titre plates.

The large gel run length of 32cm also allows resolution of samples over a long distance for separation of complex sample bands such as in restriction fragment analysis.

The unit is available with a full length tray or with other tray length options of 16 or 24cm so that the user’s exact requirements can be matched. In addition to options for single length gel trays, multiSUB Screen is available with all three gel tray lengths to provide the maximum in flexibility, versatility and value.

Buffer recirculation ports are included as standard to allow enhanced resolution over extended runs while loading guides enhance well visibility for easy sample loading

Gel Electrophoresis Tanks - Horizontal - Cleaver Scientific

The multiSUB Mini is the smallest unit in the range, designed for low to medium numbers of samples. The small gel size maximises run economy but does not compromise versatility as two tray options are available – 7 x 7cm and 7 x 10cm, and combs ranging from preparative up to 16 samples. Simply by altering the gel tray or comb, this compact unit is capable of resolving up to 64 different samples, prepping 1ml of sample or separating sample bands over a distance of 9cm.

Gel Electrophoresis Tank - Horizontal 96 Well - Cleaver Scientific

The multiSUB Midi 96 Gel System is ideal for high throughput electrophoresis of PCR products or samples containing a small number of DNA bands.
Its 10x12cm (WxL) gel dimensions and 96-well comb block format correspond to the standard microplate configuration, with additional lanes for markers. Two different types of comb are available: one which has 8 wells and one additional lane for DNA markers and one which has 8 wells and 2 additional lanes for markers.

The offset layout of the wells allows a maximum run length of 1.8cm per well, resulting in improved separation. multiSUB Midi 96 can accommodate samples from a 96-well plate – samples can be loaded directly using 8-channel pipettes.

As with all multiSUB units, leak-proof casting is simplified using the supplied casting dams while their ultra-compact size minimises buffer usage and bench space requirements. MSMIDI96 Stretch Systems are also available for those users requiring an extended run length per well of up to 3.6cm.

Gel Electrophoresis Tanks - Horizontal - Cleaver Scientific

With gel tray options of 10 x 7cm and 10 x 10cm, the multiSUB Midi has been designed for routine horizontal gel electrophoresis. Extending only the width of this unit allows more samples to be resolved per gel than the multiSUB Mini without a significant increase in buffer or gel volumes.

A maximum of 100 samples per gel can be resolved making this unit ideal for those routinely checking medium numbers of samples over short to medium gel run lengths.

MiniMix 3D shaker

The Cleaver Scientific MiniMix combines the motions of orbital shaking and rocking to produce a gentle, but thorough, 3-D action that is perfect for antibody incubation of western blots and staining gels. The pitch and speed of the Cleaver Scientific MiniMix are optimised to generate a tilt angle that is large enough to ensure uniform distribution of solutions, yet small enough to prevent the centre of the blot from drying out. This has the added benefit of allowing users to work with minimal volumes, thus conserving valuable probes and antibodies.

A non-slip rubber mat keeps the boxes in place on the agitating platform, which, along with the housing, is very easy to clean and decontaminate after use. The MiniMix’s compact and light weight design allows it to be moved around the lab where needed. It is also safe for use in an incubator or cold room for temperature controlled reactions.

Blot Boxes

These gel staining/blotting boxes are available in 4 sizes and are the ideal accessory for incubating blots or staining gels. The two smaller sized boxes are available in packs of ten. The smallest box has dimensions of 9.1 x 6.6cm and a capacity for 3-5ml of solution. This is ideal for incubating cut blot strips. The next box in the range holds 6-10ml of solution and is appropriate for mini gels and blots up to 11.7 x 8.9cm. Two larger boxes, available in single packs, can be used for staining gels or incubating blots up to 12 x 12cm or 20 x 16.5cm respectively.
