Adjustable Multi-Channel Gel Loading Syringes simplify and speed sample loading of 96-lane gels. They are compatible with 96-lane ABI 377 DNA sequencing instrument. They have an easy-to-use design for needle spacing adjustment. The removable needle designs are available in 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 mm.
The Adjustable Gel Loading Syringe (AGLS) allows quick, easy transfer and loading of DNA samples. Eight samples at a time can be transferred directly from a microwell plate with 9 mm spacing to a 96-lane gel with 10.8 mm spacing.
Easy Needle Spacing Adjustment
The easy-to-use sliding plate makes needle spacing adjustment possible without repositioning the 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 lever is within reach of your fingers on the backside of the AGLS. As a result, gels are loaded more efficiently, decreasing diffusion-related band broadening and loading order errors.
Needles for Optimal Performance
Needles are available in 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 mm designs in a removable needle style for complete interchangeability. The 0.2 mm design, when used with standard gel plates, allows insertion of needles between the plates for deeper sample loading and improved resolution. The 0.3 mm design allows insertion of needles between notched plates, and the 0.4 mm needle design is ideal for "top-loading" techniques, where samples are loaded at the junction of the gel plates, rather than inserting the needles between the plates. All of the needles listed here are also compatible with the ABI 373 and ABI 377, 36, 48 and 64 lane combs when used in the 9 mm spacing position.
For best results, select the needle design which most closely matches your gel thickness.
