Contact: Frank Groß

Pulse Field Electrophoresis

Shows the puls filed electrophoresis machine from the company BioRad called CHEF Mapper — CHEF Mapper from BioRad

Company: BioRad
Model: CHEF Mapper® XA
locatrion: room 101

It is used to resolve chromosomal sized DNAs. Alternating the electrical field between spatially distinct pairs of electrodes causes magabase size DNAs to re-orient and move at different speeds through the pores in an agarose gel. DNAs ranging from from 100 bases to over 10 megabases may be effectively resolved.
