Product Information
Product description
The
E-Gel
™
Power Snap Electrophoresis System is designed to produce a fast and convenient DNA
agarose gel electrophoresis and documentation workflow.
The E-Gel
™
Power Snap Electrophoresis System is composed of two units:
The
E-Gel
™
Power Snap Electrophoresis Device
consists of a power supply, blue light
transilluminator, and amber filter to enable gel separation and real-time sample tracking of
samples in E-Gel
™
agarose gels pre-stained with SYBR
™
Safe or SYBR
™
Gold II DNA stains. The
device is pre-programmed with protocols for each type of available E-Gel
™
agarose gel.
The
E-Gel
™
Power Snap Electrophoresis Camera
is a seamlessly integrated part of the E-Gel
™
Power Snap Electrophoresis System. The cable-free, high-resolution digital camera is designed for
rapid imaging and documentation of E-Gel
™
agarose gels. Camera functions include real-time
view, automatic capture, and image adjustment features.

Power Snap Electrophoresis System is used with medium throughput E-Gel
™
Double
Comb (1-22 DNA samples per gel), routine throughput E-Gel
™
agarose gels (1–11 DNA samples
per gel), or very low throughput E-Gel
