Section 1 General Information
The Opossum Multiple Gel system is ideal for teaching labs or labs that
need to run multiple gels simultaneously. Up to six minigels (7cmW x
8cmL) can be run on this versatile system. Along with optional combs the
Opossum can screen up to 144 samples at once (120 with supplied
combs). EasyCast casting design allows the casting of gels without tape or
plugs. UV transmissible gel trays may be placed directly on the
transilluminator for photodocumentation.
Before starting, unpack the unit and inventory your order. If any parts are
missing, contact Technical Services immediately.
Reference the order or catalog number on your invoice and check the
corresponding parts list.

Section 2 Setting Up
1. For shipping and convenient storage, the gel tray is packaged inside the
unit with the gasketed end gates in
position upon arrival. Lift the casting
tray out of the buffer chamber.
2. To cast gels, place the gel tray(s) into
the external multiple gel caster. The
gasketed sides of the UVT gel tray
form a leak proof seal along the side
of the gel caster.
3. Prepare and pour warm (>60) agarose solution onto UVT gel tray.
Place comb(s) into slots provided on walls of UVT gel tray.
4. One the gel has solidified, place the UVT gel tray (s) into the gel tray
holder.
5. Level the casting chamber using the thumbscrews on each side of the
unit by slowly turning one thumbscrew at a time and lining up the
bubble in the level with the center circle. Place the gel tray holder in
the buffer chamber, add buffer, remove combs, load samples and run
the gel.
