The E-Gel Safe Imager Real-Time Transilluminator for the iBase Power System is not working. What should I do?

Please check the cord you are using for the iBase Power System. Oftentimes, the power cords for the PowerBase v.4 system and the E-Gel Safe Imager Real-Time Transilluminator get mixed up. If this is the case, the blue light will not come on even though the fan and LED light will operate. You will need to use the iBase cord, which should say 48 V on it.

I would like to isolate DNA after gel electrophoresis. What do you recommend?

We offer our E-Gel SizeSelect Agarose Gels as well as our E-Gel CloneWell Agarose Gels, which are double-comb, precast agarose gels with simplified DNA recovery. Load your sample into the top row and electorphorese until your band or desired size range enters the bottom row. Then, easily remove the size-selected DNA with a pipette. No additional gel purification steps are necessary.
