Labnet International E0160 – ENDURO Gel XL Electrophoresis System

• Gel tank with integrated, direct connect the power supply
• Quick and easy gel casting
• Simple operation
• High throughput – up to 112 samples in the large gel

The compact design of ENDURO Gel XL results in a much smaller footprint than that of traditional gel boxes and power supplies. The 150V power supply connects directly to the gel box, eliminating tangled leads. Casting gels is quick and easy – place the gel tray in the stand, slide the comb into the slots and pour. Combs are multichannel compatible and gel trays are UV transparent.

The molded gel tank provides leak-proof performance while the vented lid aids in dispersing heat. For safety, a magnetic sensor recognizes the presence or absence of the lid and allows current to flow accordingly. Operating parameters are set digitally, including amperage and voltage with automatic crossover. A run can be paused at any time and the parameters changed. A micro-casting set for four 6 x 6 cm gels is available separately.

Labnet’s ENDURO™ Gel XL includes all components necessary to cast and run horizontal gels: gel trays, combs, casting stand, gel tank, and digital power supply. The migration tank, gel trays, and multichannel combs are molded for leak-proof performance and long service life. The direct connection of the power supply to the gel box eliminates the need for power leads.

Pressing the eject button separates the gel box and power supply. Reconnecting is easy-just pressing the two pieces together. The power supply can be set to either constant voltage or constant current with the automatic crossover between the two parameters. Parameters are shown on the large digital display that is easily visible from a distance. There are three different gel options for the ENDURO™ Gel XL; 12.5 x 12cm, 12.5 x 6cm, and 6 x 6cm. One larger gel with multiple combs will accommodate up to 112 samples. Or run two small gels or four microgels at the same time. Cassettes protect fragile electrodes from damage and allow for easy replacement. A magnetic sensor allows current to flow to the electrodes only when the lid is in place. If the lid is removed while the system is operating, the current is immediately shut down. In addition, the lid of the gel box is vented to dissipate heat produced during electrophoresis. To aid in visualizing the gel while it is running, there is a clear window over the gel platform.
