The GD-4534 and GD-5040 Gel Dryers
The GD-4534 and GD-5040 vacuum gel dryers are ideal for drying sequencing gels or multiple small format gels. A cast-aluminium base, overlaid with a porous stainless steel sheet, evenly distributes the heat generated by an 800-Watt heating element, which is set in increments of +/- 2°C to a maximum temperature of 90°C. Both the heating element and vacuum pump are timer-controlled so that the drying time and vacuum pump can be set in 1-minute increments to a maximum of 5 hours, while each unit is lightweight, despite its robust construction, for easy transportation around the laboratory. Each gel dryer can be either purchased individually or as part of a complete system with the Vacuubrand® gel pump.
| 2 sizes available: | GD-4534 - 45 x 34cm (W x L) format - accommodates one TVS1400 gel or up to fifteen 10 x 10cm mini-gels
GD-5040 - 50 x 40cm (W x L) format - accommodates up to twenty 10 x 10cm mini-gels | | Drying assured within 1 hour | for sequencing gels of dimensions up to 50 x 40cm | | Accurate temperature control | in +/- 2°C increments to a maximum of 90°C | | Accurate timer control | of the heating element and vacuum pump - in +/-1 minute increments to a maximum of 5 hours | | Detachable mylar sheet and porous polyethylene sheet | allow the gel dryer to be adapted for thin polyacrylamide gels and thicker agarose gels | | Stainless steel screen | acts in conjunction with a cast-aluminium base to serve as a porous gel support, uniformly distributing the heat and vacuum to prevent gel cracking during drying | | Translucent silicone rubber overlay | allows the gels to be visualised during the drying process | | Vacuubrand® MZ 2C + 2AK pump available | | Temperature range: | 20°C to +40°C |
