XCell4 SureLock™ Midi-Cell Electrophoresis System

Protein Gel Electrophoresis- Western Blot

The unique design of the Invitrogen™ XCell4 SureLock™ Midi-Cell Electrophoresis System allows you to quickly and easily perform simultaneous vertical electrophoresis of 1-4 midi gels with consistent performance. The XCell4 SureLock™ Midi-Cell is made of robust polycarbonate to increase durability and has a specially designed cover to increase user safety.

General Overview XCell4 SureLock™ Midi-Cell

The XCell4 SureLock™ Midi-Cell Electrophoresis System consists of a Lower Buffer Chamber, two Buffer Cores, Buffer Dam, Displacement Dam and a wired cover.

Electrophoresis of proteins on midi gels in XCell4 SureLock™ Midi-Cell is performed after each Buffer Core is combined with 2 midi gels or a Buffer Core with a midi gel and a Buffer Dam. The Buffer Core/gel assembly is placed in the Lower Buffer Chamber and is closed using a positive locking mechanism that seals the Buffer Core/gel assembly firmly in place and ensures leak-free electrophoresis.



The Buffer Core/gel assembly creates separate upper buffer chambers for each gel and a common lower buffer chamber shared by all gels. The lid is placed onto the Midi-Cell and fits on the Midi-Cell in only one orientation to prevent incorrect connection to the electrodes. The unique design of the XCell4 SureLock Midi-Cell evenly dissipates heat resulting in consistent performance of all gels without the need for any external cooling device. The Buffer Core electrical poles are color-coded for easy, intuitive assembly.
