General Information
1 1 Introduction
C.B.S. Scientific’s Flexicast Horizontal Systems, WMGE-600 (14 x 16cm) and WSGE-014 (14cm x
20cm) effectively allow rapid separation and identification of various fragments from DNA, RNA,
PCR products and synthetic oligonucleotides. When used in combination with two or more sample
combs, designed for multi-channel pipette loading, multiple screening of large sample numbers
can be facilitated easily. The unique Continuously Adjustable Gel Caster allow simple casting of
all 4 sizes of gel trays provided with these kits.
