Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31 C decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40 Not for outdoor Use. This apparatus is rated POLLUTION DEGREE 2 in accordance with IEC 664. POLLUTION DEGREE 2, states that: Normally only non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected .
Care and Maintenance:- Cleaning Horizontal Units Units are best cleaned using warm water and a mild detergent. Water at temperatures above C can cause damage to the unit and components. The tank should be thoroughly rinsed with warm water or distilled water to prevent build up of salts but care should be taken not to damage the enclosed electrode and vigorous cleaning is not necessary or advised.
1. Note the position of the lid on the unit. This shows the correct polarity and the correct orientation of the cables, black is negative and red positive. 2. Remove the lid from the unit. Note if the lid is not removed, fitting the cables may result in un-tightening of the gold plug and damage to the electrode.

Gel Pouring:- The CSL Multi sub range of units allows three different methods of gel casting:- Casting Dams Flexicaster Traditional Tape Using trays with Casting Dams (Note for MultiSUB4):- 1. Fit the casting dams over each end of the tray and place onto a level surface. The dams should be fitted so that there is no gap between the sides of the tray and the groove in the dams.
3. Pour in the agarose carefully so as not to generate bubbles. Any bubbles that do occur can be smoothed to the edge of the gel and dispersed using a pipette tip. 4. Allow the agarose to set, ensuring that the gel remains undisturbed. 5.
NOTE:- Ethidium bromide is a suspected carcinogen and the necessary safety precautions should be undertaken. 2. De-stain the gel for 10 30 minutes in distilled water again ensuring the gel is completely immersed. 3. Rinse the gel twice for a couple of seconds with distilled water. 4.
Warranty The Cleaver Scientific Ltd. (CSL) Multi Sub Horizontal Electrophoresis units have a warranty against manufacturing and material faults of twelve months from date of customer receipt. If any defects occur during this warranty period, CSL will repair or replace the defective parts free of charge.
