Introduction

The XCell SureLock^TMMini-Cell's unique cam design allows you to run mini-gels quickly, easily, and lead free without any clamps or grease. The Set-up time only 30 seconds; just drop the Buffer Core and the Gel Tension Wedge into the Lower Buffer Chamber insert the gels, and pull the Gel Tension Wedge forward. The perfect no-leak seal results in no mess: and consistent performance. Tough polycarbonate construction of the unit boosts durability. Retractal plugs, recessed jacks, and a specially designed lid enhance user safety. You can transfer with the optional XCell II^TMBlot Module, using the saure Lower Buffer Chamber.

Description of Parts

Lower Buffer Chamber

The Lower Buffer Chamber has a capacity of approximately 800 ml of buffer and is used as a heat sink during the electrophoresis of proteins.

Buffer Core

Buffer Core contains platinum electrodes, gold terminals, and silicone gaskets

Cell Safety Lid with Cables

Gel Tension Wedge

The positive locking action of the Gel Tension Wedge ensures trouble-free, leak­free electrophoresis of protein gels. Push the lever an the Gel Tension Wedge forward into a locked position to generate an even horizontal force which seals the gel cassette /Buffer Core assembly firmly into position in the Lower buffer chamber

Buffer Dam

Use the Buffer Dam when you need to run only one Novex® gel.
