The key to reproducible electrophoresis results is temperature control. Gels cooled on their two faces produce slanted bands appearing as broad or double bands in stained gels. SE 600 Ruby ensures uniform heat in gels because, the gels are immersed in the lower buffer for uniform heat transfer and a standard magnetic stirrer circulates buffer around the vertically suspended heat exchanger to maintain homogeneous lower buffer temperature. The ergonomic SE 600 Ruby provides two built-in side handles, which facilitates carrying and handling. Run up to four gels (up to 112 samples) in a single run. Divider plates convert single-gel sandwiches into two-gel club sandwiches, which seal and fit into the casting stand like single gels. If gels longer than 16-cm are required, Cytiva offers the SE 660, which runs gels up to 24 cm. Except for gel lengt, the SE 660 has identical features to those of SE 600 Ruby.
- Run denaturing and native polyacrylamide, 2-D, electrophoresis, agarose, and nucleic acid gel electrophoresis
- Maintain temperature between 1 and 45°C with built-in heat exchanger
- Run two gels simultaneously or run four gels using accessory divider plates
- Cast single or multiple gels in the two-place casting stand or in the four-gel or ten-gel accessory casters
- Perform second-dimension separations using two 7-cm IPG strips side-by-side, allowing eight second-dimension separations
- Cast and run wide mini gels using 8-cm glass plates and clamps
