2. Components inclosos

The E0160-230V Enduro Gel XL system comes complete with the following components:

• Gel Tank (Migration Tank)
• Font d'alimentació digital
• Gel Trays (various sizes: 12.5 x 12cm, 12.5 x 6cm, 6 x 6cm)
• Combs (multichannel)
• Casting Stand

3. Característiques clau

The Enduro Gel XL system incorporates several features designed for optimal performance and user safety:

• Disseny integrat: Direct connection of the power supply into the gel box eliminates the need for external power leads, simplifying setup and reducing clutter.
• Construcció robusta: 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.
• Pantalla digital clara: 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.
• Seguretat millorada: 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.
• Dissipació de calor: The lid of the gel box is vented to effectively dissipate heat generated during electrophoresis, maintaining stable operating conditions.
• Monitorització visual: A clear window over the gel platform allows for easy visualization of the gel while it is running.

4. Muntatge i muntatge

Follow these steps to set up your Enduro Gel XL Electrophoresis System:

1. Desembalatge: Traieu amb cura tots els components de l'embalatge. Inspeccioneu-los per detectar qualsevol signe de dany.
2. 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.
3. Transferring Gel: Once solidified, carefully remove the comb(s) and the gel tray with the cast gel from the casting stand.
4. Placing Gel in Tank: Position the gel tray with the cast gel into the gel tank. Ensure it is seated correctly.
5. Adding Buffer: Pour electrophoresis buffer into the gel tank until the gel is fully submerged and the buffer level reaches the recommended mark.
6. Connexió de la font d'alimentació: 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.
7. Col·locació de la tapa: Securely place the vented lid onto the gel tank. The magnetic sensor will detect the lid's presence, enabling current flow.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

Operating the Enduro Gel XL system involves setting the electrophoresis parameters and initiating the run:

1. Encès: Ensure the system is properly connected to a 230V power outlet. The digital display on the power supply will illuminate.
2. Paràmetres de configuració:
   • 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.
3. Carregant Samples: Carefully load your DNA/RNA samples into the wells of the gel using a micropipette.
4. 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.
5. Seguiment: Observe the migration of samples through the clear window. The vented lid helps dissipate heat.
6. Stopping Run: The system will automatically stop when the set time is complete. Alternatively, press the 'Stop' button to manually end the run.
7. Desconnexió: Press the eject button to separate the gel box from the power supply.
8. Gel Retrieval: Carefully remove the gel tray from the tank for further processing (e.g., staining, imaging).

6. Manteniment i cura

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Enduro Gel XL system:

• Neteja: 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.
• Cura dels elèctrodes: Periodically inspect the electrodes within their cassettes for any signs of wear or corrosion. Replace electrode cassettes if damage is observed.
• Font d'alimentació: Wipe the exterior of the power supply unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the power supply in water or any cleaning solutions.
• Emmagatzematge: Store all components in a clean, dry place when not in use. Protect from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspecció: Regularly inspect all components for cracks, leaks, or other damage. Do not use damaged components.
