The next generation OmniPAGE VS20WAVE-DGGE from Cleaver Scientific is a flexible Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) system. Modular in design the system can be simply adapted to perform most single-base pair mutation detection techniques that are used in DNA mutation analysis.
Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) is a molecular fingerprinting method that separates polymerase chain reaction generated DNA products. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of environmental DNA can generate templates of differing DNA sequence that represent many of the dominant microbial organisms. However, since PCR products from a given reaction are of similar size (bp), conventional separation by agarose gel electrophoresis results only in a single DNA band that is largely non-descriptive. DGGE can overcome this limitation by separating PCR products based on sequence differences that results in differential denaturing characteristics of the DNA....

MicroSolv’s new Universal-2 Dimensional (U-2D) 96 Well Plate system offers many benefits compared to current glass-lined or plastic well plates for sample preparation or chromatography.
The novel design enables the rack containing precision glass inserts to be removed from the plastic base, for checking individual inserts for bubbles or missed fills, or for transfer to a thermal bath for controlled heating or cooling. Additionally individual glass inserts can be removed and placed into 9mm screw top autosampler vials for storage or for transfer to another instrument platform. This enables small volume samples to be stored with minimal loss of sample.
With a 40% larger opening, the R.A.M.™ vial is available in polypropylene, clear polypropylene and TPX (polymethylpentene) plastic materials depending on the analyses being performed.
The 12x32mm plastic vials with a 9mm screw thread finish can be used for applications in ion chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, atomic absorption, pH sensitive samples, sodium and heavy metals analyses, and aqueous samples. This vial is specifically designed to work in robotic arm autosamplers such as Agilent, Waters, Gerstel and Shimadzu instruments. The 9mm R.A.M.™ Plastic Vials are available in the following materials ranging in capacity from 100µL to 1.5mL:
