IBI Scientific IB57000 HR-2525 High Resolution Horizontal Electrophoresis System

The IBI HR-2525 High-Resolution/High-Throughput Electrophoresis Box is designed for efficient and precise separation of nucleic acids in agarose gels. With a generous gel dimension of 25.0 cm x 25.0 cm and a maximum sample capacity of 300 samples, this system is perfect for high-volume workflows like PCR fragment screening, RFLP analysis, and genomic DNA separations. Featuring a buffer capacity of 1500 ml and a distance of 35.0 cm between electrodes, the HR-2525 ensures consistent, high-resolution results. The unit supports voltages up to 200 V and comes equipped with essential accessories, including a vented lid, UVT casting tray, bubble level, and power cords for seamless operation.

Durable Construction and User-Friendly Design

Built from durable cast acrylic, the HR-2525 resists high voltages and extreme temperatures, ensuring years of reliable use without cracking or warping. The system includes machined Delrin combs that are multichannel pipette-compatible, simplifying sample loading for high-throughput applications. Its quick-casting system uses a compressible gasket, eliminating the hassle of adjustments or leaky gates. For optimal performance, suggested parameters include up to 140 V for DNA electrophoresis and 60-80 V for RNA electrophoresis in formaldehyde-containing agarose gels. The HR-2525 also features a patented vented lid (Patent #5,779,869) to prevent overheating, making it an excellent choice for any laboratory requiring precision and efficiency.

Characteristics of Horizontal Electrophoresis Units

IBI horizontal systems are constructed of 3/8" thick cast acrylic, the heaviest in the industry. No warping occurs when the system gets hot, and there are no crazy cracks in the plastic after time.

The buffer tank on the IBI systems can be completely re-built, by the end user, in minutes.

IBI horizontal systems allow the user to cast gels OUTSIDE the buffer tank, this is much easier and allows user to cast a gel while a gel is running.

This info applies to all of IBI horizontal systems against nearly all of other competitors systems.
