General Information
1.1 Introduction and Features
C.B.S. Scientific offers the Dual Cool Electrophoresis System for performing SDS-Page,
acrylamide-nucleic acid separations and electro-blotting. The dual unit provides the
capability of running or blotting two gels simultaneously under identical temperature
controlled buffer conditions. Units include 2 freezer blocks, 2 blotting cassettes, 2 foam
pads, and a white plastic reservoir conversion plate to allow for single runs.
This system is designed primarily to be used with a variety of precast gels. (See Table
1). Hand-cast gels can also be run in this unit with the use of accessory combs, plates
and spacers.
