R&D Systems™ CometAssay Electrophoresis System
Electrophoresis System for the CometAssay™
Supplier: R&D Systems™ 4250050ES
Alert:
Caution! Electrical Hazard! This equipment is designed for use with a DC power supply providing up to 250 VDC. Careless handling can result in electrical shock. To avoid any risk of injury, the instrument should be operated in accordance with the instruction provided.
Description
- 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
