Invitrogen™ XCell4 SureLock™ Midi-Cell

The XCell4 SureLock Midi-Cell allows you to quickly and easily perform simultaneous vertical electrophoresis of 1–4 midi-gels without leaking, resulting in consistent performance. The XCell4 SureLock Midi-Cell is built with tough plastic material to boost durability and features a specially designed lid to enhance user safety.

• Uses patented technology to make electrophoresis easier and more reliable
• Designed to dissipate heat effectively and evenly, and ensure high-resolution results when using Novex midi gels (8.7 x 13.3cm)

Flexible, Efficient, and Easy to Use

• Simple assembly and operation—a single SureLock actuator seals all gels while allowing for zero force insertion and easy positioning of the gels for sample loading
• Runs up to four Novex midi-gels at once, while having the same approximate footprint as the Criterion™ Cell (Bio-Rad), which runs a maximum of only two gels
• No need for external cooling accessories–requires 25% less running buffer per gel than the Criterion Cell (340mL vs. 460mL)

• The XCell4 SureLock Midi-Cell consists of a Lower Buffer Chamber, two Buffer Cores, a lid with cables, a Displacement Dam, and a Buffer Dam
• Electrophoresis of proteins on midi-gels in the XCell4 SureLock Midi-Cell is performed after assembling each Buffer Core with two midi-gels or a Buffer Core with a midi-gel and a Buffer Dam
• The Buffer Core/gel assembly is inserted into the Lower Buffer Chamber using a positive locking mechanism that seals the Buffer Core/gel assembly firmly into position and ensures leak-free electrophoresis
• The Buffer Core/gel assembly creates separate upper buffer chambers for each gel and a common lower buffer chamber shared by all gels
• The lid is placed onto the Midi-Cell and fits on the Midi-Cell in only one direction
• The XCell4 SureLock Midi-Cell holds gels firmly with a simple gel tension wedge; when the lever on the gel tension wedge is pushed forward into the locked position, an even horizontal force is generated, which seals the gel/buffer core assembly firmly into position in the lower buffer chamber
• The positive locking action of the gel tension wedge ensures a trouble-free, leak-free gel run every time
