The preferred unit for routine mini protein electrophoresis, the omniPAGE mini is constructed using the latest injection moulding manufacturing techniques. This gives a high quality, low cost product with unsurpassed finish, durability and strength. The unit incorporates a sealing system which is compatible with all major types of 8 x 10cm and 10 x 10cm precast gel. Gel casting and running utilise the same insert, no transfer…

The omniPAGE mini wide vertical gel unit with a gel width of 20cm effectively allows double the number of samples to be resolved as the omniPAGE mini unit. This allows consistency of sample comparison on a single gel and is designed for those with greater than 20 samples to compare and resolve. Simple set up using ultra soft silicone seals guarantees trouble free glass plate loading and gel casting. Dual gaskets on the gel run…

The preferred unit for maxi protein electrophoresis, the omniPAGE maxi unit combines convenient ease of use features with high resolution separations. Simple set up using ultra soft silicone seals guarantees trouble free glass plate loading and gel casting. Dual gaskets on the gel running insert along with notched and plain glass plates ensure leak proof gel running. Rapid set up cooling retains resolution in extended separa…

The omniPAGE range of Modular Vertical Gel Systems allow multiple electrophoresis techniques to be performed in the same unit. Using the same main tank and lid, three different inserts are interchangeable for slab gel, tube gel and electroblotting techniques.These systems are available in three size options, Mini 10 x 10cm, Mini Wide 20 x 10cm and Maxi 20 x 20cm and are available as individual, combination or complete modular…

The omniPAGE 2-D Systems include both modules required for Slab Gel and First Dimension Electrophoresis and accessories, to provide a complete Mini, Mini Wide or Maxi 2-D system. The Tube Gel Module includes a rapid release gasket for easy tube extraction. Focusing can be accomplished in as little as three hours in the Mini Unit. Disposable capillary tubes are included for added convenience, plus 2-D combs and spacers which…

Designed primarily for wet electroblotting of proteins, TankSub Electroblotters offer a combination of increased capacity with economy saving features. Both units, Mini 10 x 10cm and Maxi 20 x 20cm, have increased capacity over standard systems with up to five gel blot cassettes utilised at any one time. This is especially useful in high throughput laboratories.A uniform electric field is provided by a high intensity coiled el…

These Semi Dry Blotters offer rapid transfer times for DNA, RNA and protein blotting, typically 15 to 30 minutes. All units can be used for all types of blotting: western, southern and northern via uncomplicated buffer and set up procedures and are compatible with gel thicknesses from 0.25 up to 10mm without the need for additional equipment. Each unit is compatible with their respective omniPAGE vertical gel system. Semi Dry…
