Gels are self-contained, pre-cast gels that include a buffered
gel matrix and electrodes packaged inside a disposable, UV-transparent
cassette.
•
Each E-PAGE
™
48
Gel contains 48 sample lanes and 4 marker lanes. This
configuration provides a 3.2-cm run length. The wells of E-PAGE
™
48
Gels
are compatible for loading with a multichannel pipetter in alternating lanes
or with an automated liquid handling system (see page 17 for automation
specifications).
•
After electrophoresis, the E-PAGE
™
48
cassette is easily opened with the
Invitrogen
™
Gel Knife (Cat. No. EI9010, sold separately) to remove the gel
for staining or blotting applications.
•
Each E-PAGE
™
48
cassette is labeled with an individual barcode to facilitate
identification of the gel using commercial barcode readers (page 13).
