Gel electrophoresis unit
function and description
The Hoefer SE600 series vertical slab gel
electrophoresis units (SE600, SE640 and SE660)
are intended for protein and nucleic acid electro-
phoresis under commonly used denaturing and
non-denaturing conditions. Up to 28 samples
can be compared on a single slab gel.
Applications include protein separations, nucleic
acid fractionation, and the second-dimension
separation of 2-D electrophoresis. First-dimension
separation of 2-D protein electrophoresis should
be performed on Immobilized pH Gradient Gels.
The focused strips are easily transferred to the
second-dimension slab gel for size separation.
The SE640 gel plates are 18 cm wide and 8 cm
in length. Up to four gels can be run at one time
if sandwiches are paired into “club sandwiches”.
