Horizontal Electrophoresis System LHES-C12 Catalog
Labtron Horizontal Electrophoresis System provide efficient separation of 3 to 364 samples in flat gel format. They utilize casting tray along with comb that form wells for uniform preparation and efficient separation of specimens. Their electrode connections are designed for easy attachment, ensuring reliable conductivity during runs. They incorporate buffer chambers that maintain pH and ionic strength throughout the process. Our Horizontal Electrophoresis System facilitates DNA, RNA and protein analysis in forensic and genetic engineering.

After electrophoresis, DNA or RNA in the gel must be stained to visualize it. Labtron supports both pre-staining (dye added to the gel before solidification or to the sample) and post-staining (soaking the gel in dye solution after the run). Common dyes include ethidium bromide, GelRed, SYBR Safe, or other nucleic acid stains. Labtron’s gel trays are made from materials resistant to these chemicals and compatible with UV and blue light imaging. After staining, users can visualize the bands under a UV or LED transilluminator, and Labtron’s compatible imaging systems allow users to capture and analyze band patterns effectively for research documentation or publication.
Yes, Labtron designs horizontal electrophoresis systems that are compact, durable, and safe, making them ideal for classroom and laboratory teaching. Educators can use them to demonstrate principles of DNA migration, molecular weight estimation, and gel preparation to students in a hands-on setting. Labtron systems are easy to assemble and clean, and the built-in safety features help reduce risks in an educational environment. Clear visibility during the run allows students to observe how DNA fragments migrate and form bands, enhancing their understanding of key molecular biology concepts.
Horizontal electrophoresis systems are primarily used for analyzing nucleic acids such as DNA, RNA, and PCR products. These systems are highly suitable for separating linear and circular DNA, genomic DNA, plasmid DNA, and RNA molecules. Labtron’s horizontal electrophoresis systems are designed to accommodate a wide range of gel concentrations, allowing flexibility in separating fragments of various sizes. The system is compatible with most biological sample types prepared through standard molecular biology protocols, enabling high-precision separation in both research and diagnostic settings.
Horizontal electrophoresis systems are typically optimized for agarose gels, which are suitable for separating large nucleic acid fragments. While it is technically possible to run horizontal polyacrylamide gels, it is not common practice due to the brittleness and handling challenges of polyacrylamide in horizontal formats. Labtron recommends using vertical electrophoresis systems for polyacrylamide gels but provides horizontal units capable of accommodating thicker agarose gels for larger DNA fragment analysis, giving users flexibility without compromising quality.
Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential for the longevity and performance of the equipment. Labtron recommends cleaning the electrophoresis tank, gel tray, and combs with distilled water and mild detergent after each use. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasives that could damage the surface or affect future runs. It is also important to regularly check the electrodes for corrosion and ensure that all electrical connections remain intact. Labtron’s systems are made from high-quality, chemical-resistant materials, making them easy to maintain while providing durability in high-usage environments.
