The widest range of combs available of any gel tank manufacturer - fit virtually every application from
preparatory electrophoresis to high-throughput screening high-throughput DNA and RNA applications.
Available in four thicknesses and colour-coded. Range from:
• White – 1mm supplied as standard
• Black – 0.75mm for tightly resolved bands S G 6-7
• Red – 1.5mm to maximise sample volume
• Blue – 2mm to maximise sample volume

Black and white combs recommended for high resolution gels and publication quality data; red and blue to
scale-up nucleic acid volumes for preparatory techniques

Height-adjustable, without any requirement for specialist tools or comb holders, to give user full control
over well depth and sample-loading volume; rigid comb back prevents heat-induced warping

‘Plug-and-Go’ casting – moulded casting dams clip easily onto the ends of the gel tray for rapid external
casting, allowing the multiSUB™ unit to remain in use for gel running. C E 40-45
Casting is as simple as 1, 2, 3...Simply place one dam onto the lab bench facing upwards and insert the tray
into the groove in the dam(1) and repeat with the second dam at the other end(2). The tray is now sealed and
may be placed on flat bench space or gel levelling table in readiness for leak proof gel-casting (3).
Other casting options include flexicaster and plastic casting gates - see multiSUB™ Selection Guide

Multichannel Manifold
omniPETTE multichannels feature a revolutionary suspension
system which allows the shafts to retract slightly when they
are pressed against a row of pipette tips. Each shaft moves
independently, resulting in an even sealing force being applied
to all 8 or 12 tips. This ensures that all tips secured on their
individual shaft with the minimum of effort - and never fall off!
The suspension system not only ensures secure tip sealing but
also eliminates the common incidence of tips being jammed
on pipette outer shafts. The innovative ejection bar is curved,
allowing the tips to be pushed off in steps, therefore reducing
the amount of force required for ejection. For comfortable
pipetting in any direction improved omniPETTE manifold now
ejects tips within 360o.
