| The Dark Reader GelHead (DG345) is a unique electrophoresis unit that contains an integral Dark Reader transilluminator. This allows DNA fragments to be directly viewed as they migrate down the gel. Using the Dark Reader GelHead, the researcher can continuously monitor the progress of a DNA fractionation, and so a gel only needs to be run until the DNA bands of interest are separated. Depending on the complexity of the sample, this can occur in 30 minutes or less. |

| Using GelStar, GelGreen, SYBR Safe or ethidium bromide as an ‘in-agarose’ stain, the Dark Reader GelHead allows DNA bands to be watched in real time as they migrate through a gel. | |||||||
| Left: Several DNA samples were loaded on a 1% agarose gel containing GelStar stain in a Dark Reader GelHead and run at 5 V/cm using 1 x TAE running buffer. The extent of migration of the DNA fragments was recorded using a CCD camera at 2 min intervals. (The animation file size is about 300 kb and will take about 2 min to download using a 56 k modem.) |
