Accuris Instruments has taken innovation to the next level with their new InstaView™ electrophoresis systems.  These systems make the whole process of running DNA gels, viewing DNA bands and documenting results easy.  All without removing the gel.

The myGel InstaView comes complete with everything needed to cast, run and view mini electrophoresis gels, including an integrated power supply. One large (10.5x10cm) or small (10.5x6cm) gel is accommodated by the gel tank. Gels are easily poured using the supplied trays, combs and leak-proof casting stand. The power supply connects directly into the gel tank – no more leads to contend with. The connection is guaranteed to be right, every time.

Output voltage can be adjusted to 35V, 50V or 100V and run time can be set for up to 99 minutes. A magnetic interlock between the gel tank and the lid prevents current from running through the system when the lid is not properly in place.

Once the myGel InstaView System is set up, simply slide the mini LED transilluminator into place under the tank and at any time turn it on to view the run in real time. An array of blue LEDs emits bright blue light at a wavelength of 465nm for optimal excitation of common green fluorescent stains such as SmartGlow™, SYBYR™ Green and Gel Green, without damaging DNA. An orange filter is incorporated into the lid for visualizing DNA bands without any additional equipment or special glasses. When it’s time to document results, place the included gel imaging enclosure over top of the myGel InstaView, and use the camera app on any smart phone to capture high resolution images without removing the gel from the tank.
Images are easily shared via email or text message or printed.
