  Flexible Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) System

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.

cleaverscientificDenaturing 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....

  New Horizontal Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (hPAGE) System

Cleaver Scientific announces the introduction of a horizontal polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (hPAGE) system developed in collaboration with the Kirkhouse Trust, an organisation supporting research and education in the biological sciences.

cleaverscientificpr9Whilst vertical systems are commonly used for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, this newly developed unit’s horizontal format allows for a large number of samples to be run simultaneously and combines this with the greater resolution of polyacrylamide compared with agarose.  The main advantage of the system is that it is very simple to pour and cast the polyacrylamide gels which takes away some of the complexity normally associated with vertical gel casting....

  Safer, More Convenient DNA Electrophoresis

The 'Safe' Series of products from Cleaver Scientific have been designed to make DNA electrophoresis procedures safer, more convenient and more economical to run.

cleaver scientificIt is widely acknowledged that the main hazards of traditional DNA gel electrophoresis lie in the use of Ethidium Bromide stain, a known mutagen and carcinogen, and using UV illumination sources which can cause eye and skin damage. Furthermore, traditional DNA electrophoresis is usually performed without researchers knowing much about what is happening on the gel unit until it is stopped and checked. This blind 'stop and start’ process, where an...
