Clarit-E Plate racks

These sturdy racks are designed for safe drying and storage of glass plates. The small rack can hold up to 20x 2mm thick plates while the larger rack can accommodate up to 10x 5mm thick glass plates.

Clarit-E Gel Drying

Dryer

• Maxi dries up to twelve 10 x 10cm gels at a time
• Microprocessor controls temperature and timer
• Optimal tight seal during the drying process

With a drying area of 21 x 31 cm, the Midi gel dryer can dry six 10 x 10cm gels or a single larger gel. The Maxi Gel Dryer with a 35 x 45cm drying area can dry twelve 10 x 10cm mini gels simultaneously. The unit’s microprocessor controls temperature and time, each parameter being displayed on its own LED display. The gels are heated from the base plate while the vacuum removes the moisture from below to dry the gel homogeneously. These dryers feature optimal sealing using a silicone rubber cover and supporting mask. When applying the vacuum, a groove that frames the drying surface provides an optimal tight seal during the drying.

Vacuum Pump

• Two pumps in one – vapour trap and high efficiency diaphragm pump
• Environmentally friendly - traps and contains vapours

he GelMaster™ Vacuum Pump features two pumps in one package: a room temperature vapour trap acts as a pump by condensing the hot vapours from the gel dryer and trapping them from the rest of the systems; this is followed by a high efficiency diaphragm pump, delivering a powerful, non-fluctuating vacuum for fast, smooth drying, which acts as the primary vacuum source. The pump is so efficient, one GelMaster™ can be connected to three gel dryers simultaneously. It’s 1.5L capacity allows between 10-15 gels to be dried before the trap needs to be drained. The GelMaster™ trapping medium can be used repeatedly.

Clarit-E Gel Documentation System

• 14.7 mega pixel digital camera
• Image is viewed from a 8" TFT colour monitor
• Lightweight compact hood with easy access door and inner built in lights
• Can be used computer free
• Safety door switch
• Includes flash card, flash card reader and Ethidium bromide filter

The Clarit-E Gel Documentation system is simple, inexpensive and ultra compact. It contains a 16 bit CCD digital camera with a superb resolution of 14.7 mega pixels. For added convenience, limited space and budget requirements, it can be used computer free. The image is viewed from a large 8” TFT colour liquid crystal display. A variety of images can be captured from agarose and other fluorescent gels, colorimetric gels, autoradiography film and blotting membranes. The system is fitted with a 55mm ethidium bromide filter and has a safety switch to turn off the UV transilluminator when the door is opened. Files can be saved in a variety of formats for transfer to computer systems for storage and analysis. TheClarit-EGel Documentation system can be directly connected to a thermal printer - EL4070 - or to many other commercially available printers.

Clarit-E UV Transilluminators

Three wavelength options: 254/312/365 nm - two Dual wavelength models

• Long life filter
• High efficiency reflector
• Hi / Lo intensity switch
•  Fast start up

These UV Transilluminators are multitasking workstations, which offer an ultra-violet source for the analysis of fluorescently stained DNA, RNA, and Protein electrophoresis gels. These also offer space to place tube racks, cutting tools or waste agarose gel, ideal when there is a need to cut bands.

These new generation UV transilluminators include a specially designed safety UV leakage indicator which changes colour when UV light is detected. Each model includes a High Low intensity switch. A new and high quality starter ensures that the UV tubes energise immediately and without flickering. This feature extends the life of the tubes. Two Dual wavelength models offer added flexibility and convenience.

Clarit-E Gel cutting tips

A great new tool for Gene Cloning

Rapid, precise and contamination free excision of spots & bands from gels

• Eliminates scalpel damage to transilluminator or gel tray
• Designed for removing bands from agarose and protein gels
• One handed operation
• Push button gel release
• Push button tip release
• Avoid cross contamination
• Easy gel slice transfer tips fit standard 1000μl pipettors
• Autoclavable
• DNase and RNase free
• Sterile racked versions are also available

Gel cutting tips, newly available from Alpha Labs. No more scalpels required, these tips offer a unique and convenient way to excise bands from gels. Gel cutting tips allow complete single handed and contamination free removal of the gel band of interest. The gel band is neatly extracted and contained in the tip. It can then be simply dispensed into a tube and the used tip ejected and disposed of.
