unit function
The Hoefer ® HE33 horizontal agarose unit
is intended for rapid electrophoresis of small
quantities of nucleic acids in agarose gels. A gel
is cast in the gel caster, which holds one or two
combs. (Eight different combs are available;
a maximum of 32 samples can be run if two
16-well combs are used.) After the gel sets, the
running tray is transferred to the platform of
the horizontal unit. The base of the unit holds
coolant that can be chilled before the run. This
passive cooling capacity allows fast, high volt-
age runs.
