CA-SYS Cellulose Acetate System
The CA-SYS cellulose acetate system has been designed in close collaboration with the UK National Health Service (NHS) to run cellulose acetate membranes and wick-based electrophoresis applications, particularly in the two-dimensional screening of inherited metabolic disorders in children.
| Developed in collaboration with endusers | as with all our gel electrophoresis units, the CA-SYS and units have been designed in close consultation with end-users: in this case NHS biomedical scientists who routinely use cellulose acetate electrophoresis to screen for mucopolysaccharide (MPS)disorders in children | | Active tank area: -CA-SYS | 24.5 x 26cm (W x L) easily accommodates larger 145 x 192mm membranes, or up to three standard 78 x 75/150mm membranes simultaneously | | Adjustable bridge prices | can be located anywhere within the tank to support cellulose acetate membranes or horizontal precast gels | | Clamping bars within clip holders | hold the cellulose acetate membrane or paper wick gently in position | | Asymmetric offset electrodes | ensure that the membrane is run in the correct polar orientation | | Transparent lid | allows electrophoresis to be monitored as it happens as well as maintaining uniform atmospheric conditions | | A central partition | separates the buffer and lends additional support to longer membranes and precast gels | | Membranes available | in small, standard and large formats |
