    2.2 Care and Maintenance Cleaning Horizontal Units Units are best cleaned using warm water and a mild detergent. Water at temperatures above 60 C can cause damage to the unit and components. The tank should be thoroughly rinsed with warm water or distilled water to prevent buildup of salts but care should be taken not to damage the enclosed electrode and vigorous cleaning is not necessary or advised.

    3.2 Setting up the Horizontal Gel Tanks Instructions for fitting Electrode Cables 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.
  • Page 10: Gel Preparation

    3.3 Gel Preparation 1. Table 1 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 1 x solution should be used in the tank buffer solution.
  • Page 11: Gel Pouring

    3.4 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 1. To fit the casting dams, place one casting dam on the bench with the groove facing upwards (see figure 1). Push the edge of the tray down firmly into the groove (see figure 2).
  • Page 12 Using The Flexicaster See figures 4 and 5 for Flexicaster MS7-FC and MS20-FC 1. Level the Flexicaster base by adjusting the feet so that the bubble is exactly central. 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.

    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.
  • Page 14: Gel Staining And Viewing

    3.6 Gel Staining and Viewing The Multi Sub trays allow staining to be performed without removing the gel from the tray if this is preferred. 1. Transfer the gel to a vessel containing the appropriate volume of 0.5 µg/ml ethidium bromide stain for 15– 30 minutes, see solutions for stock stain concentration and adjust to the volume used accordingly.

    Review enzyme activity, digest further. Band smearing and streaking Agarose has improper endosmosis Consult Cleaver Scientific about agarose. Salt concentration in sample too high Reduce salt concentration to ≤0.1M. Excessive power and heating Reduce voltage. See electrophoresis instructions. Sample spilled out of well Apply sample carefully.
