  • Page 9: Operating Instructions

    Operating Instructions Overview runVIEW is an innovative system designed for real-time size fractionation and recovery of nucleic acids. runVIEW can maximise the efficiency of DNA recovery from EtBr and SYBR stained gels by minimising the number of steps involved in post-electrophoretic purification. runVIEW consists of a multiSUB™ MSCHOICE system with bluVIEW lid, containing a spectral emission filter and extractor fan within its viewing pane, and a base unit with integrated power supply and blue LED gel illuminator.

    3. Peel the back off the loading guide and carefully apply the loading guide directly to the gel platform. The unit is now ready to be used. Control Interface There are five buttons and four LED indicators on the faceplate. Each LED indicates the activation status or mode of operation of the unit.
  • Page 11: Gel Preparation

    Gel Preparation The Table below shows the volume of agarose solution required to make the desired agarose gel for each unit tray size. For a standard 0.7% agarose gel, add 0.7 grams of agarose to 100 ml of 1x TAE or TBE solution. The same 1X solution should be used in the tank buffer solution.
  • Page 12: Gel Pouring

    Gel Pouring The multiSUB range of units allows three different methods of gel casting: ® 1. Casting Dams 2. Flexicaster 3. Traditional Tape Casting Dams 1. To fit the casting dams, place one casting dam on the bench with the groove facing upwards (1).

    2. Insert the desired length tray into the Flexicaster such that one end of the tray is pushed up and seals against the silicone mat of the permanent end of the Flexicaster. 3. Position the movable end of the Flexicaster so that the silicone mat is pushed against the other end of the tray.

    and care must be taken to ensure that samples from the first wells do not migrate into the lanes of the second comb wells. 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.
