Do I need to add water or buffer to the Displacement Dam when I run one or two gels in the XCell4 SureLock Midi-Cell?
The XCell4 Displacement Dam is used when fewer than 3 gels are run in the XCell4 SureLock Midi-Cell. The Displacement Dam is placed in the lower buffer chamber instead of a second buffer core. Do not add any buffer or water to the Displacement Dam. However, if water or buffer is accidentally added to the Displacement Dam, it does not affect the electrophoresis run.
What do I need to run the NuPAGE Invitrogen Midi Gels in the Bio-Rad Criterion Cell?
You will need a Midi Gel Adapter. The Midi Gel Adapter is a self-adhesive, upper buffer chamber used when running the NuPAGE Invitrogen Midi-Gel in a Bio-Rad Criterion Cell. The Midi Gel Adapter may be filled with up to 60 mL of buffer. The Midi Gel Adapters are available packaged with the Midi-Gels (Invitrogen and NuPAGE Invitrogen Midi Gels with Cat. Nos. that end in "A") and also on their own in packages of 10 (Cat. No. WA0999). Running the NuPAGE Midi-Gels in the XCell4 SureLock Gel Apparatus does not require the use of the Midi Gel Adapter.
Are the NuPAGE Midi Gels compatible with multichannel pipettes?
Multichannel pipette compatibility: 12+2-well (8- and 12-channel pipette-compatible) and 26-well (8- and 12-channel pipette-compatible). The 12-channel pipettes work with the 26-well gels. You will need to alternate lanes (e.g., aligns with every two lanes). There will be two extra lanes (for MW markers). The 12-channel pipettes work with the 12+2 well gels as well.

'We identified three isolates of Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus [GBS]), of human origin, which failed to react with antisera against any of the nine known GBS serotypes. Polyclonal rabbit antisera raised against these isolates and standard GBS typing sera were used in capillary precipitation and Ouchterlony tests to compare ... More
Chronic central administration of valproic acid: Increased pro-survival phospho-proteins and growth cone associated proteins with no behavioral pathology.

Valproic acid (VPA) is the most widely prescribed antiepileptic drug due to its ability to treat a broad spectrum of seizure types. However, potential complications of this drug include anticonvulsant polytherapy metabolism, organ toxicity and teratogenicity which limit its use in a variety of epilepsy patients. Direct delivery of VPA ... More
