XCell4 SureLock™ Midi-Cell Runner Œ from Invitrogen

Description

The XCell4 SureLock™ Midi-Cells unique design allows you to quickly and easily perform simultaneous vertical electrophoresis of 1-4 midi-gels without leaking, resulting in consistent performance. The XCell4 SureLock™ Midi-Cell is built with tough plastic material to boost durability and features a specially designed lid to enhance user safety.

The XCell4 SureLock™ Midi-Cell employs patented technology to make electrophoresis easier and more reliable than ever. The XCell4 is designed to dissipate heat effectively and evenly, and ensure high-resolution results when using Novex® midi gels (8.7 cm x 13.3 cm).

Easy to use
Simple assembly (Figure 1) and operation for the ultimate in ease of use. A single SureLock™ actuator seals all gels while allowing for zero force insertion and foolproof positioning of the gels for sample loading.

Flexible
Runs up to four Novex® midi-gels at once, while having the same approximate footprint as the Criterion™ Cell (Bio-Rad) which runs a maximum of only two gels.

Efficient
No need for external cooling accessories; requires 25% less running buffer per gel than the Criterion™ Cell (340 ml vs. 460 ml).

How the System Works
The XCell4 SureLock ™ Midi-Cell consists of a Lower Buffer Chamber, 2 Buffer Cores, a lid with cables, a Displacement Dam, and a Buffer Dam. Electrophoresis of proteins on midi-gels in the XCell4 SureLock™ Midi-Cell is performed after assembling each Buffer Core with 2 midi-gels or a Buffer Core with a midi-gel and a Buffer Dam. The Buffer Core/gel assembly is inserted into the Lower Buffer Chamber using a positive locking mechanism that seals the Buffer Core/gel assembly firmly into position and ensures leak-free electrophoresis. The Buffer Core/gel assembly creates separate upper buffer chambers for each gel and a common lower buffer chamber shared by all gels. The lid is placed onto the Midi-Cell and fits on the Midi-Cell in only one direction. The XCell4 SureLock™ Midi-Cell holds gels firmly with a simple gel tension wedge. When the lever on the gel tension wedge is pushed forward into the locked position, an even horizontal force is generated. This seals the gel/buffer core assembly firmly into position in the lower buffer chamber (Figure 1). The positive locking action of the gel tension wedge ensures a trouble-free, leak-free gel run every time.

Easy Set-up Procedure
Figure 1 shows how the XCell4 SureLock™ Midi-Cell can be easily set up in just three simple steps.
