SPECIAL FEATURES OF DEDICATED HEIGHT SEQUENCERS

The Dual Sequencer upper reservoir is divided in half, allowing the researcher to run identical or independent buffer conditions on either side. This feature is also convenient for the researcher who occasionally wants to run just one side of the unit.

Eight different sizes of single or six sizes of dual sequencers are offered to best suit investigator's needs.

Convenient built-in, epoxy-coated aluminum plates help to evenly distribute the heat generated during electrophoresis, eliminating the "smile effect." These heat dispersion plates are anodized for electrical isolation and white epoxy-coated for easy visualization of tracking dyes. These aluminum plates are also spring-mounted to reduce stress when clamping on sequencing glass plates and to help provide a close and even contact with the back glass plate.

A wide selection of precision-machined combs and spacers is available, including specially configured sharktooth combs for multi-channel pipettor loading and linear and exponential wedge spacers. (See accessories.)

Compressible, long-lasting silicone gasket on face of unit provides leak-proof seal when glass plates are clamped in place.

Upper and lower reservoirs have drains with tubing adapters for easy disposal of radioactive buffer solutions. (Click here for three different options of buffer disposal.) Both upper and lower buffer reservoirs conveniently detach from unit for ease in cleaning and disposal of radioactive buffer solutions.

Acrylic bar clamp (pictured above right) provides equal pressure along entire width of the glass plate/comb s andwich eliminating capillary leakage of sample while loading sharktooth combs. This clamp minimizes gla ss plate fractures due to the "bending" that can occur from the uneven pressure of side clamps alone, re sulting in longer plate life.

The Dual Sequencer's rotating base allows unit to swivel providing easy access to either side of the unit. A removable peg locks into place providing stability for either 180º rotation. Simply load one side, remove peg, rotate unit and continue loading alternate side.

SAFETY FEATURES

Safety covers are extended over glass plate sandwich on upper reservoir for maximum protection and have attached power leads. Safety covers are easily removed with a counter-balance push button.

Power leads are CE approved and are bussed together so that anode and cathode are removed from power supply simultaneously.
