Modular Tank System for Polyacrylamide GelElectrophoresis and BlottingEco-Maxi Electrophoresis System
Eco-Maxi comes with glass plates with 21 cm width and 20 cm length. Eco-Maxi isalso compatible for Maxigel glass plates. For electrophoretic separation undercontrolled temperature conditions the use of the EBC buffer tank with coolingoption (integrated water circulation system) is recommended. The problem ofsmiling effects and ineffi cient protein resolution due to the heat developmentin larger gels is reliable avoided. The buffer chambers EB (without coolingoption) and EBC (with cooling option) are compatible with the Blot Module forTankblot Eco-Maxi. For tank blotting, the use of buffer tank EBC withintegrated cooling option is recommended. When using the buffer tank EB withoutcooling option, the transfer should be performed in a cold room. The BigfootSafety Lid with its specially designed foot allows a space saving and safestoring of the lid when not placed on the buffer tank. According to customerrequirements a lot of special confi gurations by a large number of additionalcomponent parts are possible (i. e. analytical, preparative or microtiter platecompatible combs).
The BlotModule for Eco-Maxi is available separately and willconvert the
corresponding electrophoresis apparatus into a powerful wet-blotter.
Casting Stand for Eco-Maxi
The casting chamber allows an easy, fast and leak-proof assemblyfor 1 or 2 glass plates sandwiches.
Preliminary, for casting gels one or two glass plates sandwiches are set intothe electrophoresis module and fixed with the side clips. Because the spacersare permanently fixed to one glass plate, the often difficult adjustment oflarge spacers and glass plate is no longer necessary.
In a second step, the electrophoresis module with the glass plates sandwichesis inserted into the specially designed gel casting stand and it is fixedeasily and reliable by two eccentric vices. By the use of a unique high-techmaterial for the gasket in the casting stand and special anti-slip device of theside clips leakage proof is guaranteed. After polymerisation of the gels, thecomplete assembly of electrophoresis module and glass plate sandwiches aretaken from the casting chamber into the buffer tank for electrophoreticseparation. Specially formed slots in the side walls of the buffer tank allow arapid and safe positioning of the module.
