Description

Electrophoresis System for the CometAssay™

  • Overcomes assay variability first by placing an acrylic overlay on top of an elevated slide tray to maintain optimal buffer height for DNA migration
  • Secondly, a constant buffer temperature is maintained using an external chamber under the tank to cool the glass slide platform and buffer chamber
  • Electrophoresis time for optimal DNA migration is achieved in 30 minutes with Alkaline (pH>13) Electrophoresis Solution, or 45 minutes with Neutral Electrophoresis Buffer at 1V/cm
  • The smoke grey colored unit is designed to minimize exposure to UV light but still allow visual inspection
  • Third, specially designed slide trays are also provided to accommodate 2, 20 and 96 well slides and maintain proper slide orientation during electrophoresis
  • CometAssay™ Electrophoresis System II, CometAssay™ Alkaline Control Cells, and CometAssay™ Neutral Control Cells enable investigators to consistently optimize their comet assays for highly reproducible results, and to standardize electrophoresis methods between individual users and laboratories
