Electrophoresis
Electrophoresis is an essential laboratory technique that enables the separation and analysis of electrically charged molecules, such as proteins or nucleic acids. This method is widely used for applications such as biomedical research, clinical diagnostics, and veterinary testing, as it offers remarkable precision and reproducibility in detecting molecular differences.
It mainly comes in two types: horizontal and vertical, each suited to specific needs. Horizontal electrophoresis is often used for DNA analysis, while vertical electrophoresis is preferred for protein separation, especially in polyacrylamide gels. Proper use of these techniques optimizes results according to experimental goals.
Types of electrophoresis your laboratory might need
Horizontal Electrophoresis
Horizontal electrophoresis is primarily used for separating nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA through agarose gels. It facilitates fragment size evaluation and genetic diagnosis. This technique is valued for its ease of use and the ability to analyze multiple samples simultaneously.
Kalstein horizontal electrophoresis devices offer great durability and ease of handling while ensuring excellent band resolution. They are suitable for laboratories seeking a reliable method for genetic studies, molecular biology, and clinical applications.
Vertical Electrophoresis
Vertical electrophoresis is primarily employed for protein separation by polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE), providing high separation quality thanks to the gel’s vertical orientation. This method is essential for proteomic analysis, quantification, and identification of proteins in various research and diagnostic contexts.
Kalstein vertical systems guarantee precise temperature and migration control, promoting excellent reproducibility and in-depth sample analysis. They are suited for demanding laboratories that want detailed results in biochemistry and molecular biology.
What you need to know before selecting electrophoresis and making an investment?
Key factors to consider
When selecting an electrophoresis system, it is crucial to consider compatibility with your sample types and targeted applications, notably the type of molecules to analyze (DNA, RNA, proteins). Ease of use, the capacity to process multiple samples simultaneously, and accessory availability are also essential points.
Technical features of the device, such as maximum voltage, gel capacity, cooling systems, and ease of cleaning, must be evaluated to ensure optimal performance and enhanced durability in a demanding laboratory environment.
Price range on the market
The price of electrophoresis equipment varies significantly depending on the type (horizontal or vertical), size, and additional features such as digital displays or compatibility with different gels. Basic models may start at accessible prices, while advanced systems for specialized research will have a higher cost.
It is advisable to examine not only the initial cost but also recurring expenses related to consumables, maintenance, and possible updates to properly assess the budget needed for your laboratory.
Value for money
Value for money is a crucial factor that includes device reliability, result accuracy, hardware robustness, and quality of after-sales service. Kalstein offers balanced solutions providing high quality at competitive costs, thus guaranteeing an excellent investment.
Well-maintained electrophoresis equipment used according to manufacturer recommendations can have a lifespan of several years, minimizing replacement costs and maximizing return on investment. Regular follow-ups and proper cleaning are essential to extend its service life.
Expected lifespan according to usage and maintenance
The lifespan of a device also depends on usage frequency and the type of electrophoresis chosen. For example, horizontal systems, often less complex, can last longer in less intensive uses, whereas vertical devices, more sophisticated, require rigorous maintenance to maintain optimal performance.
By investing in a Kalstein electrophoresis system, you benefit from durable equipment with responsive technical support and readily available spare parts, ensuring long-term effective operation in your daily analyses.
