Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) is an important technique used in the search for mutations and DNA polymorphisms critical in genetic disorders and cancers, and to understand genetic diversity among species. The new omniPAGE VS20WAVE-DGGE is a flexible system that can be fully customised to perform several different mutation detection techniques. The VS20WAVE-DGGE is a versatile single-unit solution for different single-base pair mutation detection methods. The newly designed VS20WAVE-DGGE is a complete system for DNA mutation analysis.

The omniPAGE range of Modular Vertical Gel Systems allow multiple electrophoresis techniques to be performed in the same unit. These systems include all modules and accessories required for Slab Gel Electrophoresis, 2-D Electrophoresis and Electroblotting. The central component is the omniPAGE Mini Vertical unit, Mini Wide Vertical Unit or omniPAGE Maxi Vertical unit.

Package includes:

• 1x omniPAGE Mini Wide Vertical Unit which includes: 2x4mm thick notched glass plates, 2x4mm thick plain glass plates with 1mm thick bonded spacers, 1x dummy plate, 2x combs (1mm thick, 24 samples), 1x casting base, silicone mat, cooling pack
• 1x Capillary Electrophoresis Module which includes: internal running module for tube gels, capillary tubes, blanking plugs, 2-D combs and spacers
• 1x Electroblotting Module comprising: internal electroblotting module, 4x compression cassettes for gel sizes up to 20x10cm and 6x fibre pads.

The redesigned VS20DGGETC temperature control unit combines buffer recirculation with a heat sensor and 1.4kW heating element to facilitate precise temperature control to within 0.02C, allowing the gel temperature to be set to the melting temperature (Tm) of the amplified DNA polymorphism or mutation of interest. Other benefits include; a conspicuous 4-digit 16mm LED panel to aid set-up, precise tuning to within 0.1C resolution, an operating set point, plus three adjustable pre-set temperature values, and stirred buffer circulation for temperature stability and uniformity.
