AELAB Electrophoresis Tank AE-subMIDI(V) – DNA/RNA Separation System

An electrophoresis tank is a piece of laboratory equipment used for separating molecules, such as proteins or DNA, based on their size and charge. It consists of a tank filled with a gel, which is set in a conductive buffer solution. The tank has electrodes at each end. When an electric current is applied, the molecules move through the gel, with their migration patterns depending on their size and charge. This separation allows researchers to analyze and identify different molecules by observing how far they travel through the gel. The results are typically visualized with staining techniques or other detection methods.

Features :

AE-subMIDl (v) is a highly flexible and integrated horizontal electrophoresis system for both electrophoresis and gel observations. lt can be used not only as an integrated one for real-time observation the gel during electrophoresis but also as the individual electrophoresis system and the blue light transilluminator, which offers much more convenient way to run and detect DNA/RNA gels. Moreover, the professional blue light source instead of ultraviolet light one can efficiently excite most of the safe fluorescent dyes on the market, ensuring the safety of the operator, nucleic acid samples and the experimental environment. lt is recommended to use with AE-gdsAUTO550 system for subsequent gel imaging analysis.

🔬 How It Works?

The AE-subMIDI(V) functions as a horizontal electrophoresis system where samples are loaded into wells within an agarose gel. Once an electric current is applied, molecules migrate through the gel based on their size and charge. Its integrated blue light transilluminator replaces harmful UV, enabling real-time gel observation without risking nucleic acid degradation or operator safety.
