Owl P8DS Vertical Gel Electrophoresis System: Precision and Durability for Reliable Results

The Thermo Scientific Owl P8DS is an advanced vertical electrophoresis system that is designed to deliver high-resolution and reliable results for various gel-based separation techniques. Built using durable acrylic fabrication technology, the system is designed to withstand long-term usage in a laboratory setting, offering both durability and performance.

One of the key features of the Owl P8DS is its flexibility in gel sizing. It accommodates gels with dimensions of 10 x 10 cm or 10 x 8 cm, allowing users to choose the best size for their specific experimental needs. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from small-scale research to larger experimental setups. The system’s sample capacity of 20 further enhances its versatility, allowing users to handle multiple samples in a single run.

The Owl P8DS is equipped with a central cooling core, a crucial innovation that ensures even cooling across the gel surface. By circulating fluid through this core using either an external circulator or tap water, the device prevents heat build-up, which can compromise the quality of gel bands. This efficient cooling mechanism guarantees outstanding resolution and clear, sharp banding, making it a perfect choice for experiments requiring precision and clarity.

The system’s upper and lower buffer chambers hold 170 ml and 240 ml, respectively, with a total buffer capacity of 250 ml. The running buffer requirement is also 250 ml, which ensures that the system operates efficiently within a controlled environment. A constant current of 15-35 mA per gel ensures the samples are processed uniformly within a time frame of 30 to 90 minutes, providing consistent results every time.

The Owl P8DS is particularly user-friendly. It features a simple yet effective clamping mechanism, which makes loading glass cassettes and precast gels straightforward. This ease of use reduces time spent on setup and helps avoid common issues related to gel handling. Importantly, the system is compatible with gels from most manufacturers, further enhancing its convenience for laboratory use.

In terms of physical specifications, the unit has compact dimensions of 15 x 17 x 12 cm, making it space-efficient and easy to fit into various lab environments. The glass size for the gels is standardized at 10 x 10 cm, ensuring that gels are easily manageable and that the system delivers reliable results across various applications.

The combination of its durable construction, innovative cooling mechanism, and ease of use makes the Thermo Scientific Owl P8DS an excellent choice for any laboratory focused on achieving precise, repeatable results in electrophoresis experiments. Whether working on small sample sets or larger-scale projects, the Owl P8DS provides the flexibility, consistency, and reliability that are critical for modern scientific research.
