Description

The Rapid SSR Vertical Electrophoresis YG1579 is an advanced laboratory system designed for efficient protein separation, offering a high-performance solution for protein analysis. Unlike horizontal gel electrophoresis systems, vertical gel electrophoresis is more complex and is commonly used by researchers to separate proteins, rather than nucleic acids. This system is ideal for disrupting the quaternary structure of proteins, allowing them to be separated into their linear strands for further study.

One of the standout features of the YG1579 is the rapid installation process. The glass plates can be installed in just 15 seconds, without the need for knobs, making setup incredibly fast and hassle-free. Additionally, the system includes a gel making device of normal position, so there is no need to move the glass plates from the gel-making process to electrophoresis, providing a more streamlined workflow. The system also features a Precast Gel Inner Core, allowing for uninterrupted operation during gel making and electrophoresis.

Price in the Market

The Rapid SSR Vertical Electrophoresis YG1579 typically ranges in price from $797 to $820, depending on the supplier and any additional services provided, such as support or extended warranties. The price reflects the system’s advanced features, including rapid setup, modular gel-making, and enhanced performance for protein separation experiments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• How long does it take to set up the YG1579?
  The YG1579 allows you to install the glass plates in just 15 seconds, which significantly reduces setup time compared to other systems.
• Can I create multiple gels at once with this system?
  Yes, the YG1579 can handle 1 to 2 gel plates at a time, making it ideal for medium-scale experiments. Its gel-making device allows you to create multiple gels simultaneously, improving throughput.
• Does the YG1579 have safety features?
  Yes, the system features a safety cover open button design and an auto-switch-off function that powers down the system when the lid is removed, ensuring safety during operation.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages:

• Quick Setup: The glass plates are easy to install in just 15 seconds, improving efficiency.
• Modular Gel-Making Device: Allows for creating multiple gels simultaneously, enhancing throughput.
• Safety Features: Includes auto-switch-off when the lid is removed for added safety during operation.
• Precast Gel Inner Core: Ensures that gel-making and electrophoresis can run concurrently without interruptions.

Disadvantages:

• Limited Gel Capacity: The system can process only 1 to 2 gel plates at a time, which might be limiting for very high-throughput laboratories.
• Sample Volume Constraints: With well sizes for 25, 40, and 52 wells, the system may not meet the needs of large-scale or complex experiments.

Usage in the Field

The Rapid SSR Vertical Electrophoresis YG1579 is commonly used in biochemistry, molecular biology, and protein analysis laboratories. Researchers use it for protein separation experiments, such as Western Blotting, protein quantification, and enzyme activity assays. Its rapid setup, modular gel-making capability, and high buffer volume make it an excellent choice for labs that need to process multiple protein samples quickly and efficiently.

Recommendations for Use and Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance of your YG1579 Vertical Electrophoresis Cell, regularly clean the glass plates and electrodes after each use to avoid protein buildup. Check the buffer solution before each experiment to ensure it maintains the correct pH levels, and replace it when necessary. It is also important to inspect the gel plates for any damage, as cracks or chips can affect the system’s efficiency and performance.
