GELFREE 8100 Fractionation Station incorporate a first step to 

allow the user to add an additional 2 mL of Running Buffer to 

the  Cathode  Buffer  Reservoir  (bringing  the  total  volume  to  8 

mL) and to thoroughly rinse the Sample Loading Chamber.

 

For standard methods, the first step parameters are shown on 

the  Quick  Reference  Card  provided  with  each  Cartridge  Kit.  

For a custom method, the first step should be applied once the 

dye  front  is  visible  in  the  gel  tube  (16  minutes  at  50  V,  8 

minutes at 100 V). 

 

Executing a Method: 

 

1. 

Retrieve a defined method by pressing the ‘Method’ button
