These DNA sequencing units are designed with cabinet style doors and a safety lid to provide easy access for sample loading without compromising safety. All components are shielded and the unit cannot operate until the doors are closed and the safety lid is in place. The units are fitted with a safety interlock as standard. A combination of rubber mounted precision machined aluminium heat transfer plates, float glass plates and clamps, ensure excellent heat distribution and straight sample migration through the gel. A drainage port in the upper buffer tank allows for easy emptying of the running buffer. An optional fan kit provides adjustable thermostatic control of the gel and enables gels to be run at higher speeds. With the fan kit a 20 x 50cm, 0.3.5mm 6% gel can be run at 500C within 1 hour 45 minutes (including pre-run)
