Amersham ECL Gel Horizontal Electrophoresis System

High quality protein electrophoresis just got easier

GE Healthcare has introduced Amersham™ ECL™ Gel system,

designed to make PAGE as easy as agarose gel DNA electrophoresis. The core of the system is Amersham ECL Gel,

a precast gel with long shelf-life, available in a variety of concentrations and well configurations. Gels are processed

using a dedicated horizontal electrophoresis unit.

Horizontal operation confers a number of advantages over vertical units, such as reducing buffer consumption

and the risk of buffer leakage. Moreover, the horizontal format provides an open gel surface and a bird´s eye view of

the entire electrophoresis run. Consequently, it is simpler to apply samples to the wells, and samples are easier to visualise once loaded.

Amersham ECL Gel is compatible with standard buffers, and has a shelf life of up to 12 months with no compromise in performance over time. It reproducibly resolves complex samples, and works well with standard detection protocols.

The gel enables high electrotransfer efficiency of proteins, and convenient integration into the Amersham ECL Western

blotting workflow.
