Scie-Plas offers two types of horizontal electrophoresis tank: the 'Green Range' and Vari-gel Range. The Green Range entails five individual series of premium quality horizontal gel electrophoresis units, determined by gel tray size and sample throughput, whose applications vary from education to routine preparatory agarose gel electrophoresis and high throughput nucleic acid screening. Each gel tank is of robust, leak-proof construction from 12mm acrylic as standard, and includes other features such as a UV-transparent gel casting tray, colour-coded combs and offset asymmetric platinum electrodes. In contrast, the Vari-gel Range is designed to provide a low cost electrophoresis solution that offers up to four gel tray options within one tank, while still retaining the quality and features of our flagship Green Range units.

Green Range

Scie-Plas ‘Green Range’ horizontal gel electrophoresis units offer the ultimate standards in innovative design and manufacture, acquired during our 20-year existence. The Scie-Plas ‘Green Range’ horizontal gel electrophoresis units currently comprise 13 models with gel tray sizes ranging from 6 x 7.5 to 25 x 30cm, although new units will be added over the coming year. All models incorporate many design and safety features recommended by scientists, either from within our in-house product development team or laboratories worldwide. As a result, all our models are manufactured and finished to the highest specification, easy to use, and, with safety always paramount, CE-marked - conforming to European safety regulations.

Vari-gel Range

The Scie-Plas Vari-gel Range is designed to provide a low cost electrophoresis solution that not only offers several gel-casting tray sizes within one tank but also retains the benefits of the popular Green Range horizontal units. The Vari-gel Range is available in MINI, MIDI and MAXI formats, each format determined by the width and number of gel-casting trays. Each unit is fabricated from 5mm acrylic sheet as standard, but includes many of the features of the Green Range units, such as 99.99% pure platinum electrodes, gold-plated corrosion-free terminals and UV-transparent gel-casting trays. The Vari-gel Range can be used for routine preparatory DNA electrophoresis and higher throughput nucleic acid screening. Scie-Plas is also pleased to announce the launch of the VG-FAST96 high throughput Vari-gel system, whose 96-well capacity makes it perfectly suited for screening single-strand polymorphisms (SSP) following PCR amplification in 96-well microplates.
