Run PCR gel  in 6 minutes under water

 

Why PCR gel performance is fundamentally superior over traditional submarine gel electrophoresis?

 

In 6mgel, the patented high speed PCR gel electrophoresis, electrodes contact PCR gel directly so that running buffer is eliminated. PCR gel body is immersed under deionized water instead of running buffer, as shown below.

 

 

 

 

This simple change gains surprised advantages:

 
bullet

Deionized water, an electric insulator, suppresses electric current to prevent massive heat generation so that the water volume can be added as much as desire.

bullet

Water, the most potent coolant, absorbs heat from gel body efficiently and evenly so that straight banding across the entire PCR gel is achieved.

bullet

Much higher voltage, such as 250V, can be applied to drive rapid sample migration. Sample diffusion is substantially reduced during PCR gel electrophoresis.

bullet

Due to less electric current, the required buffering capacity of running buffer is substantially reduced. It means over 70% of buffer consumption can be saved. 

bullet

There is a "sample stacking" effect when loaded samples running from wells into PCR gel body (just like stacking gel in vertical PAGE gels). This effect is achieved by deionized water. For further readings of the principle of sample stacking, please ask a question below.
