Biometra Expands Portfolio with Electrophoresis and Blotting System "Eco-Line"

Goettingen/Jena (Germany), October 5, 2011 ? Biometra GmbH, a Company of Analytik Jena Group, has introduced an extension of her electrophoresis portfolio with a new user-friendly line: the "Eco-Line". This new line comes with systems for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and for tank blotting of gels in mini and maxi format. The modular design allows the execution of electrophoresis and tankblotting in the same buffer chamber. Specific electrophoresis and blotting modules care for a simple switch between applications.

Up to two gels can be casted in the mini resp. maxi Casting Stand. The glass plates with fixed glass spacers are directly placed in the frame of the electrophoresis module and ensure uniform gels without any risk of leakage.

A wide choice of combs in three different thicknesses provides the right solution for every need, even for loading of samples with multichannel pipets.

There are three different buffer chambers for electrophoresis, one even with cooling option. This chamber is particularly suited for further use with blotting. The separate available Blot Module in mini or maxi version is directly placed in the adequate buffer chamber. The assembly of the blot sandwiches and their loading into the Blot Module works very easy by a specific design and by a colour code of the cassettes. Faulty use is nearly impossible. Tankblot Eco-Mini runs up to four blotting cassettes, Tankblot Eco-Maxi up to two cassettes.

The complete line is constructed with robust and high-quality components and under attention of all safety standards. This guarantees for long-life cycle and perfect experimental results. The systems are available as "ready-to-use" sets or in modules for individual configuration. All power supplies of the Biometra portfolio are compatible with the Eco-Line.
