The Hoefer SUB6 Mini Submarine Gel Electrophoresis Unit is an ideal choice for routine preparatory and analytical electrophoresis of nucleic acids. Compact yet capable, the SUB6 is designed for efficient gel runs with minimal buffer use, making it perfect for teaching labs, research settings, and day-to-day sample analysis.
With a 6 × 7.5 cm gel tray, UV-transparent running surface, and smart ergonomic design, the SUB6 combines usability with reliability for essential molecular biology workflows.
Features & Benefits:
- Compact tank design: Requires only 325 ml of buffer, offering tighter control over the voltage gradient and shorter run times.
- Color-coded, height-adjustable combs: Easily identify comb thickness and fine-tune sample well depth for precision loading.
- Colored loading strips: Improve visibility of wells to aid in accurate and efficient sample placement.
- UV-transparent tray: Enables direct imaging of gels without handling, minimizing risk of distortion or damage.
- Side handles: Simplify safe transport and repositioning around the lab.
Included Components:
- Buffer Chamber Assembly
- Safety Lid
- High Voltage Leads
- Running Tray with Silicone Gasket*
- Two 1 mm thick, 8-well combs
- Colored Loading Strips
*Tray features built-in silicone gaskets to create a leak-proof seal when rotated 90°, allowing in-chamber casting.
