General Information
1.1 Introduction
C.B.S. Scientific offers the Quadra Electrophoresis Systems for performing SDS-Page,
acrylamide-nucleic acid separations and electro-blotting. These quadruple capacity units
provide the capability of running or blotting four gels simultaneously. The Quadra comes
in two models, with (QNC-700) or without (QNX-700) temperature controlled buffer condi-
tions. Each unit includes 2 cores, 4 blotting cassettes with sponge pads.
These systems are 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.
