Abdos Single Plate Mini Gel Electrophoresis System with Castor System & Combo Accessory
Gel
electrophoresis equipment is used in separation and analysis experiments that
involve macromolecules like DNA and RNA. The procedure aims to separate these
proteins and their fragments according to size and polarity. Electric charges
are applied to the molecules using battery accessories. Also required for these
procedures are electrophoresis combs, trays, electrodes and tapes. Gels
typcially suppress the convection caused by the electrical medium, thus acting
as a sieve for the particles. These devices find widespread use in preparative
techniques for mass spectroscopy, DNA sequencing and similar procedures. They
thus find applications in forensic experiments and tests, molecular biology,
microbiology and biochemistry.
