MiniVertigel 2 – The high-precision vertical electrophoresis tank from APELEX
The MiniVertigel 2 from APELEX is an essential tool for laboratories specialising in protein analysis by electrophoresis. Designed with particular attention to robustness, precision and ease of use, this vertical tank allows two 9 x 8.5 cm polyacrylamide gels to be cast and migrated safely and with consistent quality. Every design detail reflects the technical expertise of APELEX, a French company renowned in the field of electrophoresis.
The integrated migration system is based on a separation module with a ceramic (alumina) cooling chamber for optimal thermal conductivity. This allows for precise temperature control during migration, ensuring reproducible results, even during long sequences or delicate analyses. The casting base ensures a perfect seal thanks to its silicone seals and easy locking system. This mechanism prevents any risky handling after gel polymerisation, minimising human error and the risk of leakage.
The user experience is also at the heart of the MiniVertigel 2's design. Its safety lid with integrated cables, platinum electrodes installed in protected grooves, and corrosion-resistant gold-plated connectors enhance the safety and durability of the equipment. The carefully polished, flat glass plates ensure uniform gel thickness and straight migration without distortion.
The versatile MiniVertigel 2 is also compatible with pre-cast gels in 10 x 10 cm cassettes, via a specific version (ref. 400800). This provides increased flexibility for laboratories that prefer ready-to-use gels. It is ideal for SDS-PAGE analyses, protein assays, western blotting and other applications requiring clear and reliable separation.
This compact chamber is ideal for any laboratory seeking to combine technical performance, reliable results and ease of use. With the MiniVertigel 2, APELEX offers a complete, durable solution that is perfectly suited to the requirements of professionals in molecular and cellular biology.
