Electrophoresis
Electrophoresis is a fundamental technique widely used in medical and veterinary laboratories to separate biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and other charged particles based on their size and charge. This process facilitates diagnosis, research, and quality control by enabling the clear identification and analysis of complex mixtures within biological samples. Electrophoresis offers a versatile platform adapted to various sample types and laboratory needs, making it essential for biochemical and molecular biology investigations.
In the electrophoresis category, we distinguish mainly between horizontal and vertical systems, each designed for specific applications and sample handling. Horizontal electrophoresis is commonly applied for nucleic acid separation, while vertical electrophoresis is preferred for protein analysis. Both systems offer precise control over experimental parameters and can be integrated with detection and visualization techniques to enhance analytical outcomes. Proper selection of electrophoresis equipment ensures accurate and reproducible results in clinical, research, or veterinary settings.
Types of electrophoresis you may need in your laboratory
Horizontal Electrophoresis
Horizontal electrophoresis is primarily designed for the separation of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA, making it ideal for genetic analysis and molecular biology research. Its layout facilitates easy gel preparation and sample loading while allowing efficient visualization through staining and UV illumination techniques.
These systems feature even electric fields and adequate cooling to prevent overheating, ensuring sample integrity during runs. Horizontal electrophoresis is widely used in research, clinical, and educational laboratories for DNA fingerprinting, RNA analysis, and PCR product verification.
Vertical Electrophoresis
Vertical electrophoresis is the standard for protein separation through SDS-PAGE and related techniques. Its vertical format enables the precise stacking and separating of polyacrylamide gels, essential for high-resolution protein analysis in clinical diagnostics and proteomics.
Equipped with temperature controls and modular gel casting systems, these units support a variety of buffer systems and gel compositions. Vertical electrophoresis is crucial for examining protein purity, molecular weight estimation, and post-translational modifications in biomedical laboratories.
What you should know before selecting electrophoresis equipment and making an investment
Key Factors to Consider
Key factors when choosing electrophoresis equipment include sample type, resolution requirements, and compatibility with downstream analysis methods. Voltage range, buffer system options, and temperature control are essential technical considerations for achieving consistent and clear separation.
Additional factors include throughput needs and available laboratory space. Selecting equipment with user-friendly interfaces and reliable customer support enhances workflow efficiency. Maintenance requirements and availability of consumables also impact long-term usability.
Price Range in the Market
Market prices for electrophoresis systems vary widely based on features such as gel size, automation, and integrated imaging. Simple systems serve budget labs, while advanced models with enhanced precision cost more, reflecting their technical sophistication.
Evaluating total costs includes accessories, consumables, and service plans. Investing in reliable, high-quality systems from established brands may initially be higher but results in lower operational costs and better performance over time.
