Features:

• The Jordan Mini Gel-O Submarine System is used for mini gel format quick screens with up to 18 samples per run.
• The Jordan Mini Gel-O System can process a large number of samples and is ideal for PCR fragment analysis or recombinant screening.

The maximum suggested applied voltage for the electrophoresis of DNA in agarose gels using the JSB-30 is 150 volts. In a 1% TBE gel, this translates into a run time of approximately one hour. Lower voltages may be used; as a general rule, a 75 V run will take twice as long as a 150 V run. Higher voltages may be used to decrease run time; however, if the unit is being operated at higher than 150 V the heat generated during electrophoresis may decrease sample resolution. Such artifacts may be avoided by running the unit in a cold room or adding 1 X electrophoresis buffer "ice cubes" to keep the unit adequately cooled. The suggested run parameters for the electrophoresis of RNA in agarose gels containing formaldehyde are 60-80 volts.
