Gel Drying Equipment
Agilent’s proprietary Stabilization and Drying Solution is optimized to reduce degradation of cyanine 3 and 5 by ozone during microarray processing in preparation for scanning. It should be used when the ozone level in the microarray processing area is higher than 10 ppb.
The GD-4534 and GD-5040 vacuum gel dryers are ideal for drying sequencing gels or multiple small format gels. A cast-aluminium base, overlaid with a porous stainless steel sheet, evenly distributes the heat generated by an 800-Watt heating element, which is set in increments of +/-2°C to a maximum temperature of 90°C. Both the heating element and vacuum pump are timer-controlled so that the drying time and vacuum pump can be s…
For efficient gel drying with the GD-4534 and GD-5040 units The Vacuubrand® MZ 2C + 2 AK is a quiet, low maintenance, oil-free diaphragm pump that supplies the low vacuum necessary for fast gel drying with the GD-4534 and GD-5040 units.
With a drying area of 21 x 31 cm, the Midi gel dryer can dry six 10 x 10cm gels or a single larger gel. The Maxi Gel Dryer with a 35 x 45cm drying area can dry twelve 10 x 10cm mini gels simultaneously.The unit’s microprocessor controls temperature and time, each parameter being displayed on its own LED display. The gels are heated from the base plate while the vacuum removes the moisture from below to dry the gel homogeneousl…
