Mini vertical gel instruments

The Hoefer SE 250 combines the advantages of small format and efficient cooling for rapid screening of protein and nucleic acids.

• Runs two 10 x 8 cm gels at once. High resolution separations in as little as 45 minutes.
• Mighty Small Combs create up to 15 sample lanes per gel. Run two gels for as many as 30 sample lanes at a time.
• Ideal for a variety of techniques: acrylamide (uniform and gradient), agarose, IEF, field inversion agarose and two-dimensional electrophoresis.
• Efficient cooling uses alumina plates to ensure flat, side-side gels. No smiling.
• Assembly is quick and easy with T-shaped spacers. Special clamps hold sandwiches with just the right pressure.
• Buffer requirements are minimal—75 ml for each upper buffer chamber and 150 ml for the common lower buffer chamber.
• Safety lid interlocks prevent accidental buffer contact.

The Hoefer SE 260 combines the advantages of small format and efficient cooling for rapid screening of protein and nucleic acids.

The SE 260 is the same compact design as the SE 250. It runs 10 x 10.5 cm gels. The additional 2.5 cm length gives more than 25% extra distance to resolve complex samples. You can use a variety of 8- and 10-cm long pre-cast gels.

Offers the convenience of both electrophoresis and electrotransfer in one sturdy, compact unit.

• Cast, run and blot 2 mini gels 10 x 10.5 in one instrument.
• If you wish to transfer 4 gels at the same time, Hoefer offers an optional blot module that drops into the Mini VE tank. You can blot 4 mini gels in 45 minutes with 300 ml buffer.
• Cooling system assures the temperature uniformity required for straight lanes and flat bands.
• Sturdy. Only four major parts. The gel module functions as both a casting stand and an upper buffer chamber.
• Accepts precast gels from a variety of manufacturers.
