Gel Alignment Template Kit
The Bio-Rad gel alignment template kit (catalog #170-8184) allows four sizes
of standard agarose gels to be centered quickly and easily and ensures the
consistent placement of each gel.
The kit contains:
• Magnetic locator frame
• Instruction sheet
• Alignment guides for the following gel trays:
Sub-Cell® GT UV-transparent mini-gel tray, 7 x 7 cm
Sub-Cell GT UV-transparent wide mini-gel tray, 15 x 7 cm
Sub-Cell GT UV-transparent mini-gel tray, 7 x 10 cm
Sub-Cell GT UV-transparent gel tray, 15 x 10 cm
The gel alignment templates fit exactly into the XcitaBlue conversion screen
frame (catalog #170-8183).
To install and use the gel alignment template kit:
1. Place the locator frame over the transilluminator with the magnetic side
down. Match the corners of the magnetic locator frame with the edges
of the transilluminator. The UV symbol on the frame will be in the same
orientation as the UV symbol on the imager.
