Used GE HEALTHCARE LIFE SCIENCES / AMERSHAM 20 / 50 EH #9169417 for sale

GE HEALTHCARE LIFE SCIENCES / AMERSHAM 20 / 50 EH is a dual-component electrophoresis equipment used for electrophoresis of DNA, proteins or other molecules, gel purification, and electrophoretic transfer. The system is designed to work with dedicated 20 (LPA) and 50 (PA) amp power supplies and is based on a multiple electrode unit. The core of the machine is AMERSHAM 20 / 50 EH-U, a bi-level cell that offers two vertical lower chambers, each with two electrodes. The top and bottom chambers feature special recessed areas, allowing for placement of up to four gel casting plates. The upper chamber could be used for additional electrodes, sample visualization, buffer refilling, or for mounting special devices such as extractors or computers. The tool is also compatible with additional gel pouring systems, UV cabinets, excitation lamps, and blotting systems. Electrophoresis is a process which uses electrical currents to separate charged molecules. The molecules will migrate under the influence of the electric field formed between the electrodes, and the separation can be achieved either by the size or the charge of the molecules. To conduct the separation process, the sample is loaded into one of the lower chambers of GE HEALTHCARE LIFE SCIENCES 20 / 50 EH-U and an electrical current is sent through the sample to separate it. After the electrical current is switched off, the sample is then removed and subjected to analysis. For protein analysis, 20 / 50 EH asset can be used with agarose gels, polyacrylamide gels, or other sample preparation methods. For DNA analysis, the model can be used with either agarose gels or DNA preparation kits. Both DNA and protein gel electrophoresis require special buffers and stains to separate the sample and visualize under UV light. The electrophoresis process of DNA or protein in GE HEALTHCARE LIFE SCIENCES / AMERSHAM 20 / 50 EH-U requires the use of a Power Unit and is usually done in two or three stages. First, the gel is loaded into the lower chambers and the current is sent to separate the molecules. This is followed by a cooling time and sample blotting in which the samples are transferred to a nylon membrane in a buffer solution. This enables further analysis such as Southern or Northern Blotting. Finally, the membrane is post-stained, destained, and analyzed. AMERSHAM 20 / 50 EH equipment offers versatility, convenience, and easy usability. The system is capable of performing multiple samples in parallel and can be set up in under five minutes. It is ideal for labs focusing on basic research, clinical trials, and educational settings.
