Section 1 General Information

The Opossum Multiple Gel system is ideal for teaching labs or labs that

need to run multiple gels simultaneously. Up to six minigels (7cmW x

8cmL) can be run on this versatile system. Along with optional combs the

Opossum can screen up to 144 samples at once (120 with supplied

combs). EasyCast casting design allows the casting of gels without tape or

plugs. UV transmissible gel trays may be placed directly on the

transilluminator for photodocumentation.

Before starting, unpack the unit and inventory your order. If any parts are

missing, contact Technical Services immediately.

Reference the order or catalog number on your invoice and check the

corresponding parts list.

Section 2 Setting Up

1. For shipping and convenient storage, the gel tray is packaged inside the

unit with the gasketed end gates in

position upon arrival. Lift the casting

tray out of the buffer chamber.

2. To cast gels, place the gel tray(s) into

the external multiple gel caster. The

gasketed sides of the UVT gel tray

form a leak proof seal along the side

of the gel caster.

3. Prepare and pour warm (>60) agarose solution onto UVT gel tray.

Place comb(s) into slots provided on walls of UVT gel tray.

4. One the gel has solidified, place the UVT gel tray (s) into the gel tray

holder.

5. Level the casting chamber using the thumbscrews on each side of the

unit by slowly turning one thumbscrew at a time and lining up the

bubble in the level with the center circle. Place the gel tray holder in

the buffer chamber, add buffer, remove combs, load samples and run

the gel.
