2.1 Overview
Sample cups
Sample cups, as shown in the figure below, can be placed along the length of the Ettan
IPGphor manifold that is not blocked by a centering protrusion. The sample cups are
supplied in strips of 6 for easy handling and placement. If fewer than 6 cups are
required, they may be easily separated by cutting the thin plastic bridging the strip of
cups together. The sample cups can accommodate sample volumes of up to 150 μl. For
proper sealing of the cup to the gel, all of the feet of the sample cup must rest on the
bottom of the channel and all cup arms must be fully pressed down into the channel.
Sample cup insertion tool
The sample cup insertion tool, shown below, is supplied with the manifold kit and refill
packages of sample cups. It is used for proper placement and sealing of the cup over
the IPG strips.
