MAXIGEL ECO 2 – The horizontal electrophoresis chamber designed for your demanding analyses
The MAXIGEL ECO 2 chamber from Apelex is an essential piece of equipment for molecular biology laboratories that demand precision, high analysis capacity and robustness. Thanks to its ingenious design, this chamber allows electrophoretic separation of DNA or RNA on large agarose gels, while ensuring clear visualisation of results, safe handling and optimised ease of use.
Designed to accommodate up to 352 samples simultaneously, the MAXIGEL ECO 2 is ideal for large-scale genetic screening, restriction fragment analysis, PCR verification and intensive biomolecular research. Its 20 x 24 cm UV-transparent gel tray allows direct observation under a UV lamp, facilitating the interpretation of results after staining with ethidium bromide or other dyes.
Its structure is made of 10 mm or 6 mm thick acrylic, ensuring excellent thermal and mechanical resistance. Unlike injection-moulded models, it does not deform under the effect of heat, making it ideal even when used with hot media or in case of overheating. Stability is enhanced by adjustable feet at all four corners and an integrated spirit level, ensuring straight and uniform migration.
One of the major advantages of this tank is the wide range of combs available: single, double or preparative, with up to 44 teeth, all compatible with multichannel pipettes. This modular system allows for a configuration that is perfectly suited to each type of analysis. Buffer circulation is also optimised thanks to integrated ports, ensuring uniform conductivity across the entire gel surface, even for long separations of 24 cm.
This electrophoresis tank meets the demanding standards of research, teaching and diagnostic laboratories. Its modular design allows great flexibility in the choice of trays, combs and accessories, according to the specific requirements of each protocol. The MAXIGEL ECO 2 from Apelex is therefore a reliable, scalable and high-performance solution for all users who want to optimise their agarose gel separations while ensuring excellent reproducibility and maximum working comfort.
