The Max Submarine Unit offers the best value for general applications use in a standard-sized format. This Unit offers a variety of gel lengths and comb sizes so that you can run exactly the gel you need. Cast gels 15 cm wide x 10, 15, or 20 cm long, with one or two combs. Comb choices range from a preparative comb, for a 1 ml fragment purification sample, to a 30 well comb for high-throughput PCR screening. An adjustable comb back enables you to control the depth of sample wells.

Every design detail of the Submarine Max contributes to reliability and durability: seamless molded high impact plastic buffer tray; banana plugs safe from corrosion; a guard to protect the platinum electrodes; electrode carrier for simple electrode replacement; a rugged molded lid with safety guards to protect against electrical hazard; a large diameter bubble level and leveling feet; strain-relieved high voltage power cords; and red and black details on running trays and buffer chamber for orientation.

Durability and ease of use are engineered into the Running Trays: thick UVT acrylic; self-locating/centering guides to prevent tray floating or sliding; tray handles that align combs squarely at either end or the center of the gel; and flush tray ends for foam seal, or taping if you wish. Running trays seat snugly into the casting tray where the ends are sealed by closed-cell foam strips. No tape or loose parts required; the agarose stays where it belongs - on the running tray. For special non-submarine applications, you have the option of using the Max agarose dam casting feature.
