The E-Gel Power Snap Camera is designed for quick and effortless E-Gel agarose gel image capture and documentation when used with E-Gel Power Snap Electrophoresis Device (G8100)*. The cable-free, easy-to-dock E-Gel Power Snap Camera seamlessly integrates into the device, enabling instant image capture during the run without interruption of the workflow.

The E-Gel Power Snap Camera is optimized for use with E-Gel EX, E-Gel SYBR Safe, E-Gel Go!, E-Gel CloneWell II, and E-Gel SizeSelect II gels, and is not compatible with ethidium bromide stained gels.

Features of the E-Gel Power Snap Camera include:

  • Capture high-resolution E-Gel agarose gel images instantly
  • Adjust gel images with easy-to-use on-board software
  • Store months of gel image files using internal camera memory
  • Complete walk-away workflow with auto-capture feature

Instant capture and seamless integration

Capture high-resolution E-Gel agarose gel images on the go with the easy-to-use E Gel Power Snap Camera. The camera is directly docked to the E-Gel Power Snap Electrophoresis Device, requiring no external power supply or connection to a desktop computer. This enables the freedom to capture images instantly, on the spot, without leaving the bench.

Effortless use

This high-resolution digital color camera automatically captures E-Gel agarose gel images at optimal exposure settings without the need for focusing or image/gel adjustments. The auto-exposed image can be fine-tuned manually if needed.

Made for convenience

The integrated E-Gel Power Snap Camera touch screen and on-board software provides an intuitive interface for quick gel image capture and editing. Store images using the Power Snap internal memory storage through months of camera use or easily transfer the images to an external USB memory device.

Freedom to walk away

The E-Gel Power Snap Camera features an automatic gel capture workflow. This enables the capture of multiple images at various time intervals after you have walked away. Find all of your images stored in internal image gallery when you return.

*The E-Gel Power Snap Camera is designed only for E-Gel agarose gel imaging and functions only when used with E-Gel Power Snap Electrophoresis Device.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

My E-Gel agarose gel has speckles when viewed in the imager. What should I do?

Here are some suggestions:

- Try cleaning the cassettes with alcohol and Kimwipes wipers.
- Try cleaning the camera lens.
- Try to adjust the exposure time and brightness options of the documentation system you are using.

My sample is leaking from the wells when running my E-Gel agarose gels. What happened?

Please ensure that you have not overloaded the well and that the wells were not damaged during comb removal.

I accidentally stored my E-Gel agarose gels at 4 degrees C instead of room temperature. Can I still use them?

While we recommend storage at room temperature, these gels will still be usable. Bring the gels to room temperature prior to the run for optimal conditions.

I do not have enough samples to fill all wells in my E-Gel agarose gel. Can I leave some wells empty?

If you do not have enough samples to use all the wells, fill each empty well with the same volume of water as the loaded samples. For E-Gel CloneWell II agarose gels and E-Gel SizeSelect II agarose gels, it is important to add the water according to the respective manual.

What makes E-Gel agarose gels bufferless?

To create a bufferless system, each E-Gel cassette contains two unique ion exchange matrices that lie between the running gel and the electrodes. The ion exchange matrices provide a buffer-ion reservoir that supplies a continuous flow of Tris, acetate, and dye ions throughout the gel. This patented technology results in a sustained electric field with enhanced buffering capacity. E-Gel gels thus eliminate the need for you to prepare and dispose of liquid buffer, thus saving time and waste.
