1. Lower Buffer Tank

The lower buffer tank encloses the unit and provides stability during electrophoresis.

Always keep the buffer level between ‘Fill’ and ‘Maximum’ during a run.

2. Lid with Temperature Controller

Combined with the lower buffer tank, the lid acts to fully enclose the system. The lid

should be placed so that the tip of the stirring bar fits inside the support hole at the tank. The

loading lid should be left on the system at all times unless you are loading samples.

3. Core

The completed gel sandwich attaches to the core so that the outer plate of sandwich forms

the side of the upper buffer chamber. The inner plate is clamped against a rubber gasket on
