Hoefer 2D electrophoresis system
Tuesday, 16 September, 2008
The 2D electrophoresis system from Hoefer offers very high focusing voltage for the first dimension and has an easy-to-use, highly reproducible, second-dimension separation tank. The 2D system includes the IEF100 first-dimension isoelectric focusing unit and the SE900 second-dimension gel electrophoresis unit. The IEF100 will help researchers increase the quality and speed of their IEF separations and the SE900’s single tank design ensures leak-free runs and the ability to re-use buffer. The SE900 is also simple to use, utilises minimal parts and provides efficient cooling. The IEF100 integrated 12,000 V power supply enables fast run times and provides both Ethernet and RS232 ports for reporting and control. The first-dimension IEF can be run with IPG Strips of any length commercially available up to 24 cm. Up to six IPG strips can be focused at one time and monitored individually. The separation tank can hold up to 6 s dimension gels. There is also a gel casting option available with the SE900. The gels can thus be cast in a multiple gel caster that produces identical gels, to allow for highly reproducible production of self-cast gels. Bio-Strategy Tel: 1800 00 84 53 www.bio-strategy.com
