Invitrogen™ XCell SureLock™ Mini Cell

Protein Gel Electrophoresis System

The unique design of the  Thermo Fisher Scientific Invitrogen™ XCell SureLock™ Mini-Cell allows you to operate mini gels quickly, easily, and leak-free without any clamps. Setup time is only 30 seconds; Drop the Buffer Core and the Gel Tension Wedge into the Lower Buffer Chamber, insert the gels and pull the Gel Tension Wedge forward. The unit's rugged polycarbonate construction increases durability.

How XCell SureLock™ Mini-Cell works?

XCell SureLock™ Mini-Cell gel electrophoresis system holds gels firmly with a simple gel tension wedge. When the lever on the gel tension wedge is pushed forward into the locked position, an even, horizontal force is generated. This seals the gel/buffer core assembly firmly into position in the lower buffer chamber. The positive locking action of the gel tension wedge ensures a trouble-free, leak-free gel run every time.









 

Transfer Using the XCell II Blot Module

The XCell II Blot Module allows you to easily transfer proteins or nucleic acids from mini-gels to membranes. It fits neatly into the XCell SureLock and XCell II Mini-Cells in place of the gel/buffer core assembly. It requires less than 200 mL of transfer buffer for western, Southern, and northern transfers. Tough platinized titanium and stainless steel electrodes create a uniform electrical field without clamps or hinged gel holders. Maximum blot size is 9cm x 9cm.
