By combining both functionality and ease of use, the omniPAGE systems set the bench mark for simple, versatile vertical mini gel electrophoresis. Each omniPAGE electrophoresis system can accommodate up to 4 handcast gels (additional plates required) or 2 commercial precast gels to provide complete flexibility for individual research needs, while unique sliding clamp technology within the PAGE insert facilitates fast, intuitive leak-free casting.
With a trouble-free set up and consistent performance, the omniPAGE Mini Vertical systems are perfect for today’s laboratories, where the ability to generate reproducible results quickly is essential.

The OmniPAGE Mini Wide vertical gel unit with an active gel width of 18cm effectively allows double the number of samples to be resolved as the OmniPAGE Mini unit. This allows consistency of sample comparison on a single gel and is designed for those with greater than 20 samples to compare and resolve.
Simple set up using ultra soft silicone seals guarantees trouble free glass plate loading and gel casting. Dual gaskets on the gel running insert along with notched and plain glass plates ensure leak proof gel running. Rapid set up cooling retains resolution in extended separations and also saves on buffer volume without affecting run quality.

The omniPAGE WAVE Maxi System is Cleaver Scientifics latest product innovation for large format vertical gel electrophoresis. Designed to perform a variety of separations, including first and second-dimension SDS-PAGE, native, preparative, gradient and high-resolution nucleic acid electrophoresis, plus capillary tube gel IEF and electroblotting, the VS20 WAVE is one of the most versatile maxi vertical systems available.

The omniPAGE VS30 maxi-plus large format vertical has been designed as a convenient unit for second-dimension PAGE following first-dimension isoelectric focusing using the CSL-IEF. An active gel width of 26cm easily accommodates IPG strips up to 24cm in length, the longest available commercially, while an extended gel height of 22cm maximises separation distance and resolution of proteins similar in size or isoelectric point (pI). In combination with the CSL-IEF, the VS30DSYS provides a complete 2-D electrophoresis system which utilises the advanced features of the omniPAGE range to produce a unit that is both easy to use and consistent in generating reproducible results.

Semi Dry Blotting has the added benefit of economic transfers due to very low buffer volumes – typically only a few millilitres of buffer are required per transfer. These Semi-Dry Blotters have a screw down lid, which secures the blot sandwich and allows complete control of pressure ensuring even transfer. The electrodes, comprising platinum coated anode and stainless steel cathode, will exhibit practically no corrosion and so provide many years of trouble free use.

The Mini omniPAGE Sub Blot systems are complete stand-alone units for submarine blotting. Each unit comprises an omniPAGE tank and lid, electroblotting insert, and cassettes and fibre pads. The versatile design of the omniPAGE tank and lid allows the unit to be easily adapted for vertical PAGE or IEF with capillary tube gels, using the relevant optional insert. Other features.

The Sub Blot Mini and WAVE high intensity transfer systems combine the cooling capacity of wet submarine blotting units with the speed of semi-dry transfer systems. Both systems utilise plate electrodes to create a higher strength electric field and greater current density than conventional wire-electrode systems. This allows transfer of broad range molecular weight proteins to be achieved typically within an hour in the Sub Blot Mini, and in 1-2 hours using the WAVE Sub Blot System.

Four different sample number, size and style of Hybridisation Manifold are offered; two types of Dot Blotter and two types of Slot Blotter.
Typical applications include clone screening with DNA/RNA probes in Southern/Northern blots and immunological screening with antibodies in Western blots. The units incorporate precision lapped surfaces to ensure uniform blotting membrane contact and a leak proof gasket. These prevent lateral transfer of samples and smudging by ensuring that a complete vacuum is formed. Six thumbscrews ensure even and tight sealing for fast sample suck down.
