ENDURO VE20 Blotting System E2020 For Western Blot Includes Glass Plates, 2 x 24 Well Combs, Cooling Coil & Casting Base, 115V

Labnet's ENDURO VE20 is our large format vertical gel electrophoresis system. Designed to perform a  variety of separations, including first and second-dimension SDS-PAGE, native, preparative, radient, high-resolution nucleic acid electrophoresis and electroblotting, the VE20 is one of the most versatile large format vertical systems available. 

The VE20 distinguishes itself in its flexibility of applications, ease of gel casting and set-up requiring only 4 screws to secure 4 (16 x 17.5cm) gels. The VE20 vertical screw-clamp configuration distributes pressure evenly along the height of the gel rather than in the center to eliminate plate bowing and gel compression. The new configuration still maintains a leak-proof seal during casting; while the ergonomic wave-like design of the PAGE insert aids both handling and set up.

Whether it is running 2 or 4 gels, electro blotting or IEF using IPG strips, all of these techniques may be performed using the same base unit while retaining the benefits provided by large format electrophoresis, such as extended separation distances, greater sample throughput and superior resolution. Whatever your large format gel requirements are, the VE20 can b made to meet them. 

The platinum wire electrodes are spaced 8 cm apart to maximize throughput and capacity, and a high-intensity insert with 4 cm electrode spacing is also available for faster transfers. Choose the voltage that works for you: the ENDURO VE20 Electroblotting System is suitable for use with power settings ranging from 35 – 200 V.

The design of the transfer cassettes promotes an even flow of current, preventing the formation of shadow bands for high-quality, consistent results. The cassettes are color-coded so that you can be confident that your transfer stack is in the proper orientation during blotting.

To maintain the stability of your protein samples, the removable cooling coil keeps temperatures low by connecting to your lab water supply or a recirculating chiller. This cooling feature also increases flexibility by permitting high-voltage, overnight, and native protein gel transfers.
