IBI Scientific IB53000B MP-1015 Horizontal Electrophoresis System, 10x15cm Gel, with Buffer Recirculation Ports, 200V Max with Recirculation for DNA/RNA Quick Screens
IBI Scientific IB53000B MP-1015 Multi-Purpose Gel Box (10 x 15 cm) is a general-purpose unit designed for both extended high-resolution linear runs and economical quick screens. This Horizontal Electrophoresis system is equipped with recirculation ports for procedures requiring buffer recirculation. The MP-1015 IBI electrophoresis unit is constructed of durable cast acrylic, ensuring it withstands high voltages and extreme temperatures without cracking or warping, unlike most molded units. The maximum suggested applied voltage for the electrophoresis of DNA in agarose gels using the MP-1015 is 140 V. In a 1% TBE gel this translates into a run time of approximately one hour. Lower voltages may be used and as a general rule a 70 V run will take twice as long as a 140 V run. Higher voltages may be used to decrease run time. However, if the unit is being operated at higher voltages than 140 V the heat generated during electrophoresis may decrease sample resolution. Such artifacts may be avoided by running the unit in a cold room, recirculating buffer, or adding 1 X electrophoresis buffer “ice cubes” to keep the unit properly cooled. The suggested run parameters for the electrophoresis of RNA in agarose gels containing formaldehyde is 60-80 V.
