VG-FAST96 High Throughput Vari-gel MAXI System

Fast, high throughput microplate compatible electrophoresis

The VG-FAST96 high throughput Vari-gel MAXI system is the latest addition to the Scie-Plas Vari-gel Range, providing a swift and simple solution for the screening and analysis of up to 96 single-strand polymorphisms (SSPs) following PCR amplification in 96-well microplates.

A single gel tray with UV-fluorescent numbering allows up to 96 SSPs to loaded directly onto the tray, 8 at a time by multi-channel pipette, so that each SSP is automatically numbered for gel documentation, simplifying post-electrophoretic analysis.

This unit is ideal for use with 96-well microtitre plates or or the 96-well blocks of the Techne TC412 and TC512 thermal cyclers which are also available through Scie-Plas.


VG-FAST96 High Throughput Vari-gel MAXI System Features:

• Single gel tray with fluorescent numbering - allows up to 96 SSPs to be loaded directly onto the tray, so that each SSP is automatically numbered for gel photography, simplifying postelectrophoretic analysis
• 6 comb slots - positioned at 25mm intervals along the gel tray allow SSPs to be separated in less than 30 minutes using the appropriate running conditions (see Technical Specification)
• Six 17-sample combs - with each marker lane positioned centrally - enables SSPs to be loaded onto the gel quickly, 8 at a time by multi-channel pipette
• Compact tank - reduces the buffer volume required to cover the gel, providing greater control over the voltage gradient and run-time
• Robust acrylic casting tray – Uvtransparent for visualisation with fluorescent numbering for SNP recognition and traceability
• Ideal for use - either with 96-well microtitre plates or 96-well blocks
• Buffer recirculation ports - may be connected to a peristaltic pump for buffer recirculation during electrophoresis
