· Computer with flat-screen monitor, cables, application software, acquisition software, user manual

· Upper buffer tank and lid, lower buffer tank, 185 mm microtrough plate set with 0.2 mm spacer and comb

· 320 mm micro trough plate set with 0.2mm spacer and comb

· Gel pouring unit, gel pouring clamps, gel wedge, sharks-tooth comb

· Silicone square length (1 m), TBE buffer pack

Advanced Features

Micro-Satellites in 30 Minutes

Ultra-thin gels result in very fast run times.

Reusable 80μm and 200μm Gels

Reload the same gel up to 5 times without any reduction in resolution. The result is a saving in terms of reagents and labour. It is now possible to pour one gel in the morning and use it all day!

Microtough™ Gel System

The design of the gel apparatus facilitates easy pouring of gels with a reduced level of bubble formation as a result of the capillary action between the glass plates. The gel combs have 4.5mm spacing between wells, facilitating the use of a multi-channel pipettor with standard micro-tips for easy sample loading.

Ultra Cool Gel Control

The glass gel plates are fixed to a Peltier controlled heat dissipation plate. The gel can be heated or cooled from 15°C to 50°C, depending on the application.

Run SSCPs in 1 Hour

With a combination of Ultra-Thin Gels run at 100V/cm and sub-ambient temperature control, SSCPs no longer take all day to run.

Sensitivity of Detection

The sensitivity of the Gel-Scan™ 3000 is maximized by using a 10mW diode laser for fluorophore excitation and a PMT, which can detect a single photon, for fluorescence detection. Titration of a pUC19 DNA marker in the presence of ethidium bromide, demonstrated the sensitivity of detection to approximately 176 attomole (calculations for the 67bp fragment, data not shown). Likewise when using a HEX labelled primer the detection limit is less than 100 attomole per band.

Single Base Pair Resolution

Precision optics combined with ultra-thin gels and Peltier-cooled back plates enables single base pair resolution on the Gel-Scan™ 3000. Even with a non-denaturing gel a 1 base change is resolved between 111bp and 110bp.
