Mini-Gel systems have a small footprint and can run 5–34 samples (for 400 and 600mL systems) or 8–48 samples (for 800mL systems) on one gel

Leak-resistant, gasketed ultraviolet transmission trays allow tape-free casting in the buffer chamber. The trays have two comb positions and allow DNA bands to be viewed on a transilluminator without removing the gel. Optional multiload UVT trays have 12 slots for multiple sample-running, and allow samples to be loaded directly from a 96-well plate into an agarose gel. This design is based on the fixed spacing required to accommodate multichannel pipets (at least eight channels) and 96-well plates.

Heavy-duty, one-piece combs eliminate the need for comb assembly. The SuperSafe™ safety lid eliminates the risk of accidental shock. System is supplied with a 0.91m (3') safety power cord, attached.

The buffer chamber features lane visualization strips, which are silkscreened on the platform to provide a clear view of sample wells. Lane markers and fluorescent rulers provide accurate fragment size determination of DNA when compared to known standards. Durable acrylic construction and research-quality components give the buffer chamber a long life. Platinum electrodes and gold-plated banana plugs are corrosion-protected, and electrode placement ensures a uniform electric field.
