The Hoefer SUB20C Maxi-Cooled Submarine Gel Electrophoresis Unit is designed for high-resolution analytical and preparative electrophoresis of nucleic acids. Featuring an integrated cooling port system, this unit is ideal for extended or high-voltage runs where thermal regulation is essential to maintain sample integrity and resolution quality.
With its large 20 × 20 cm tray, four comb positions, and multichannel pipette compatibility, the SUB20C offers high capacity, convenience, and performance for demanding applications in genomics and molecular biology.
Features & Benefits:
- Large-format tray: 20 × 20 cm tray accommodates high-resolution separations and up to four combs.
- Cooling-ready chamber: Built-in cooling ports help maintain stable buffer temperatures throughout the run.
- Multichannel pipette compatible combs: Enable fast loading with up to 40-sample throughput per comb.
- Color-coded, height-adjustable combs: Provide easy comb thickness identification and control of well depth.
- Buffer recirculation ports: May be connected to a peristaltic pump to maintain buffer pH and prevent ionic gradients.
- Colored loading strips: Help users clearly identify wells during sample loading.
- UV-transparent running tray: Allows for direct gel imaging without transferring the gel, minimizing damage risk.
- Side handles: Ensure easy and secure transport around the laboratory.
