2. Součásti zahrnuty
The E0160-230V Enduro Gel XL system comes complete with the following components:
- Gel Tank (Migration Tank)
- Digitální napájení
- Gel Trays (various sizes: 12.5 x 12cm, 12.5 x 6cm, 6 x 6cm)
- Combs (multichannel)
- Casting Stand
3. Klíčové vlastnosti
The Enduro Gel XL system incorporates several features designed for optimal performance and user safety:
- Integrovaný design: Direct connection of the power supply into the gel box eliminates the need for external power leads, simplifying setup and reducing clutter.
- Robustní konstrukce: The migration tank, gel trays, and multichannel combs are molded for leak-proof performance and extended service life.
- Flexible Power Control: The power supply can be set to either constant voltage or constant current, with automatic crossover between the two parameters for precise control.
- Čistý digitální displej: Parameters are shown on a large digital display, ensuring easy visibility from a distance.
- Versatile Gel Options: Supports three different gel sizes: 12.5 x 12cm, 12.5 x 6cm, and 6 x 6cm. Capable of running one large gel (up to 112 samples), two small gels, or four micro gels simultaneously.
- Electrode Protection: Cassettes protect fragile electrodes from damage and allow for easy replacement.
- Zvýšená bezpečnost: A magnetic sensor ensures current flows to the electrodes only when the lid is securely in place. If the lid is removed during operation, current is immediately shut down.
- Odvod tepla: The lid of the gel box is vented to effectively dissipate heat generated during electrophoresis, maintaining stable operating conditions.
- Vizuální monitorování: A clear window over the gel platform allows for easy visualization of the gel while it is running.
4. Nastavení a montáž
Follow these steps to set up your Enduro Gel XL Electrophoresis System:
- Rozbalení: Opatrně vyjměte všechny součásti z obalu. Zkontrolujte, zda nejsou poškozené.
- Casting Gel:
- Place the desired gel tray into the casting stand.
- Insert the appropriate comb(s) into the designated slots on the gel tray.
- Pour the prepared agarose gel solution into the tray. Ensure no bubbles are trapped.
- Allow the gel to solidify completely.
- Transferring Gel: Once solidified, carefully remove the comb(s) and the gel tray with the cast gel from the casting stand.
- Placing Gel in Tank: Position the gel tray with the cast gel into the gel tank. Ensure it is seated correctly.
- Adding Buffer: Pour electrophoresis buffer into the gel tank until the gel is fully submerged and the buffer level reaches the recommended mark.
- Připojení napájení: Align the gel tank with the power supply unit and gently press them together until they click into place. The direct connection ensures proper electrical contact.
- Umístění víka: Securely place the vented lid onto the gel tank. The magnetic sensor will detect the lid's presence, enabling current flow.
5. Návod k obsluze
Operating the Enduro Gel XL system involves setting the electrophoresis parameters and initiating the run:
- Zapnutí: Ensure the system is properly connected to a 230V power outlet. The digital display on the power supply will illuminate.
- Parametry nastavení:
- Use the control buttons to set the desired voltage (up to 150V) or current (up to 400mA).
- Select the operating mode (constant voltage or constant current). The system will automatically crossover if the other parameter limit is reached.
- Set the run time if desired.
- Verify all parameters on the digital display.
- Načítání Samples: Carefully load your DNA/RNA samples into the wells of the gel using a micropipette.
- Start Run: Press the 'Start' button on the power supply to initiate the electrophoresis run. The display will show the active parameters and remaining time.
- Sledování: Observe the migration of samples through the clear window. The vented lid helps dissipate heat.
- Stopping Run: The system will automatically stop when the set time is complete. Alternatively, press the 'Stop' button to manually end the run.
- Odpojení: Press the eject button to separate the gel box from the power supply.
- Gel Retrieval: Carefully remove the gel tray from the tank for further processing (e.g., staining, imaging).
6. Údržba a péče
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Enduro Gel XL system:
- Čištění: After each use, thoroughly rinse the gel tank, gel trays, and combs with deionized water. For stubborn residues, use a mild laboratory detergent and a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Péče o elektrody: Periodically inspect the electrodes within their cassettes for any signs of wear or corrosion. Replace electrode cassettes if damage is observed.
- Napájení: Wipe the exterior of the power supply unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the power supply in water or any cleaning solutions.
- Skladování: Store all components in a clean, dry place when not in use. Protect from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspekce: Regularly inspect all components for cracks, leaks, or other damage. Do not use damaged components.
7. Řešení problémů
Tato část se zabývá běžnými problémy, se kterými se můžete setkat:
| Problém | Možná příčina | Řešení |
|---|---|---|
| Systém se nezapne. | No power to outlet; power supply not connected properly; internal fuse. | Check power cord and outlet. Ensure power supply is securely connected to the gel tank. If issue persists, contact technical support. |
| No current flow during run. | Lid not properly seated; insufficient buffer; damaged electrodes. | Ensure lid is fully closed and magnetic sensor is engaged. Verify buffer level covers the gel and electrodes. Inspect and replace electrode cassettes if necessary. |
| Gel leaks from tank. | Improperly seated gel tray; damaged gel tank. | Ensure gel tray is correctly positioned in the tank. Inspect tank for cracks; replace if damaged. |
| Chudák sample migration or distorted bands. | Incorrect buffer concentration; air bubbles in wells; incorrect voltage/aktuální nastavení. | Verify buffer preparation. Ensure no air bubbles are trapped during gel casting or sample loading. Check and adjust voltage/current settings according to protocol. |
