Multiple-Channel Adjustable Gel Loading Syringes
• Easy adjustment of needle spacing
• Needle designs for 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 mm thickness gels for optimal loading
• Removable needles for complete interchangeability of needles designs, and clogged or damaged needles
• Accurately transfers sample volumes from 0.2 to 10 µl
Quick and Easy
The adjustable gel loading syringes (AGLS) allows quick and easy loading of DNA samples on the 96-lane ABI PRISM 377 DNA sequencing instrument. Eight samples can be transferred simultaneously from a microwell plate with 9 mm spacing to a 96-lane gel with 10.8 mm spacing.
Easy Needle Adjustment
An easy to use sliding plate makes adjustment of the needle spacing possible without repositioning of hands. Simply slide the plate up or down for the appropriate needle spacing. There’s no need to pause between the sample filling and gel loading procedure since the sliding plate handle is within easy reach of your fingers on the back of the AGLS. As a result, gels are loaded more efficiently, decreasing diffusion-related band broadening and loading order errors.
Needle designs are available for gel thicknesses of 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 mm.
• 0.2 mm - For use with standard DNA sequencing gel plates or new 96-lane notched plate. Allows insertion of the needle between the plates for dense sample loading and improved resolution.
• 0.3 mm – For use with new 96-lane notched plate. Allows insertion of needles between notched plates with greater durability.
• 0.4 mm – For use with standard DNA sequencing gel plates or new 96-lane notched plate. Ideal for gravity-loading techniques where samples are loaded at the top junction of the gel plates rather than inserting the needles between the plates.
