CHU25 Maxi-Plus Cooled Horizontal

The CHU25 Maxi-Plus cooled horizontal gel unit is designed specifically for rapid high throughput screening of nucleic acids, particularly PCR products and in genotyping studies.

In addition to having the same 25 x 30cm gel-casting tray, 624-sample throughput, buffer recirculation ports and gel-casting features of its HU25 counterpart, the CHU25 has a labyrinthine cooling base situated directly within the tank. Once the gel is made, the gel-casting tray is simply lowered onto the cooling base, which may be connected either to the laboratory water supply or the optional JULABO chiller, optimised for enhanced cooling, allowing the user to perform high voltage electrophoretic separations faster and further without compromising resolution.


CHU25 Maxi-Plus Cooled Horizontal Features:

• Cooled Base – covering the entire 20 x 20cm gel tray – allows separations to be performed faster and at higher voltage, without loss of resolution.
• Cooling ports connect the cooled base either to the laboratory water supply or the optional external chiller.
• Combs - colour-coded and height adjustable - offer complete control over loading volume and well depth to a maximum 32-sample throughput.
• Coloured loading strips - for easy well detection when loading.
• Twelve comb slots - at 2cm intervals along the tray for faster separation of a maximum 120 samples.
• Multi-channel pipette compatible combs – with a maximum 52- sample throughput – allow samples to be loaded quickly and easily from 96 and 384-well thermal cyclers.
• UV-transparent acrylic casting tray - allows the user to image the gel without risk of damage due to handling.
• Side handles - for safe and easy transportation around the laboratory.
• Buffer recirculation ports - may be connected to a peristaltic pump for buffer recirculation during electrophoresis to maintain buffer pH and prevent ionic gradient formation.
