SPECIAL FEATURES OF LOW VOLUME 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.
| The reservoirs' low profile design requires less
buffer to maintain buffer flow through the gel. Save expense by using
as little as 250ml of buffer per reservoir for the 20cm wide units,
and 400ml per reservoir for the 33cm units.
| Flip-lids remain attached to chamber even when open,
for convenience and ease of use. (Pictured at right).
| 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.
| Quick-disconnect tubing coupling with shut-off valves
or ball valve with simple on-off lever can be ordered as alternatives
to the tubing adapters, simplifying buffer disposal. (See here).
| The Dual Sequencer's rotating base allows unit to
swivel providing easy access to either side of the unit. A removable
peg locks the base of the unit into place, providing stability for
either 180° rotation. Simply load one
side, remove peg, rotate, replace peg, and continue loading alternate
side.
| Upper and lower reservoirs may be removed from the
body of the unit for ease in cleaning.
| Acrylic bar clamp provides equal pressure along entire width of
the glass plate/comb sandwich eliminating capillary leakage of
sample while loading sharktooth combs. This clamp minimizes glass
plate fractures due to the "bending" that can occur from
the uneven pressure of side clamps alone, resulting in longer plate
life. |
