should be heated until all crystals are dissolved. This is best viewed against a light background. Crystals appear as translucent crystals. These will interfere with sample migration if not completely dissolved. The gel must be cooled to between 50°C and 60°C degrees before pouring. Gel Pouring The multiSUB range of units allows three different methods of gel casting:... -
Page 9: Flexicaster
Flexicaster 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. -
