The PROTEAN IEF cell is a highly efficient system designed to produce rapid, reproducible results for first-dimension IEF. This high-capacity IEF cell combines with a range of premade IPG strips and other accessories to facilitate and optimize the first separation in 2-D gel electrophoresis.
- Optimized for first-dimension IEF
- Provides simple, reproducible, and efficient separations
- Offers preset methods and real-time editing for maximum flexibility
- Can run up to 24 (7 cm) or 12 (11–24 cm) IPG strips simultaneously
- Includes an integrated 10,000 V power supply for quickly achieving the desired V-hr target
- Offers integrated cup loading ability for resolution of proteins at extreme pH ranges
Accessories
- Allows users to load up to 150 μl of sample with easy-to-use, disposable sample cups
- Expands the range of applications for first-dimension IEF using the PROTEAN IEF cell
- Optimizes resolution of proteins that have pIs at extreme pH ranges
- Includes movable electrodes to provide the flexibility to run 7–24 cm IPG strips
- Accommodates 1–12 IPG strips for streamlined handling
- Includes a platinum electrode embedded into the tray to ensure well and sample integrity
- Features a translucent lid for easy visualization of each IPG strip during a run
- Includes conveniently numbered channels that allow strip identification and sample tracking
- Improves throughput by providing a second tray for rehydrating or equilibrating one set of strips while running another set in a focusing tray
- Can be used to store focused strips at –20°C prior to the second-dimension run
— Electrode wicks remove salts and other contaminants from complex samples.
- Connects directly and easily to the PROTEAN IEF cell
- Prints a permanent record of the details of the programmed methods and values for all the parameters for each step of the run
