SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The horizontal electrophoresis systems PerfectBlue
signed as 'all-in-one' systems that make it possible to cast and run gels in the same chamber. The user
does not need any additional casting equipment such as grease, agarose seals or other accessories to
seal the gel tray for pouring the gel.
All PerfectBlue horizontal Mini Gel Systems include a UV-transmissible gel tray, which has the mini-
™
mum of two comb positions, allowing the user to run two sets of samples for equal distances simultane-
ously and a fluorescent ruler that helps in the precise photo documentation of each gel run.
In total VWR offers 6 different Mini Gel Systems. In addition to the Mini S, M, L and L 'Revolution' mod-
els that are described here, two wide-format Mini Gel Systems are available (Mini ExM and Mini ExW).
A comprehensive range of accessories is available for this range. These include stand-alone casting
chambers for pouring up to 3 gels simultaneously while the chamber is in use, the adjustable casting
chamber JustCast, a wide variety of standard combs, microtiter combs (not available for Mini S), pre-
parative combs and wall combs that allow you to cast shorter gels in a standard gel tray. Microtiter
combs allow you time-saving loading of the gels via a multi channel pipette.

AND ORDERING INFORMATION'.
In contrast with all the other Mini Gel Systems,
the Mini L 'Revolution' model is equipped with
an internal buffer recirculation system. A trap-
ping system captures hydrogen bubbles which
are produced at the cathode due to electrolysis,
and directs them through an ascending tube to
the opposing side of the buffer chamber where
the anode is located. During this hydrogen bub-
ble migration, the buffer circulates, preventing
the creation of detrimental pH or ion gradients.
