The Owl EasyCast™ horizontal B1A mini gel system is designed to provide flat, even banding patterns and consistent results with less hassle. This is the perfect size to determine molecular weight ranges of PCR fragments or larger sized DNA molecules. The all in one design allows you the option of casting and running a gel in the buffer chamber, eliminating the need for additional equipment. Run from 5 to 24 samples in 15 minutes at 150 volts.
Owl offers a wide range of combs. The two comb slots on the U.V. Transmissible (UVT) gel tray, double your sample capacity by doubling the number of sample wells. Heavy duty, one piece combs eliminate comb assembly. UVT gel trays are silk screened with a florescent ruler for easy measurement of bands. This system is available with optional buffer exchange ports, catalog number B1A-BP, for use with an external recirculation pump.

Casting with Owl's EasyCast™ Gel Casting System

1. Place UVT gel tray in buffer chamber in the casting position. Gaskets will form a seal agianst the walls of the chamber.
2. Pour warm (<60°) agarose onto tray and set combs in the desired comb slot(s).
3. Once solidified, turn the tray 90 degrees to the running position, remove combs, add buffer, load samples and run the gel.
