The ACVS20 WAVE 2D tube gel system provides all necessary components for 2D electrophoresis using capillary ampholyte tube gels.
• Interchangeable modular inserts run capillary tube gels for first-dimension IEF and vertical slab gels for second-dimension SDS-PAGE using the same universal tank and lid
• Detachable cooling coil, which connects to the laboratory water supply or a recirculating chiller, enables application of high voltages to achieve precise, high-resolution focusing for pI determination
• Focus up to 10 first-dimension IEF tube gels within a single run using the dedicated 2D insert, or use included blanking ports to run fewer gels if preferred
• Run up to four 20x20cm second-dimension slab gels using specially adapted notched glass plates with bonded 2-D spacers to accommodate 18cm tube gels
• System may also be used for 18cm IPG strips resolved in the first-dimension
• Two 24-sample 1mm combs included for routine SDS-PAGE techniques
