Product Introduction
Gel electrophoresis is a method commonly used in molecular biology to separate macromolecules like DNA, RNA, or proteins based on their size and charge. After running a gel, researchers use a gel documentation system to visualize and analyze the bands that form in the gel.

FAQ
Q. How to operate gel cutting?
A.
1.Open the instrument door, the UV light source will automatically turn off.
2. Pull out the drawer of the UV light source, place the UV protective shield diagonally between the drawer and the instrument to shield the eyes from the UV light source.
Q. How to operate capturing process?
A.
1.Select automatic exposure, default contrast is 0, default exposure is 350, and default gain is 500.
2. For nucleic acid gel: Click on the UV light, turn on the UV light source, then the bands can be seen in the window.
For protein gel: Click on the illumination, turn on the bright field light source, then the bands can be seen in the window.
3. Adjust the "zoom" to fill the field of view with bands, or adjust to the experimenter 's desired field of view.
4. Adjust the "aperture," first adjust to the maximum, then click " — " twice for fine adjustment, and the aperture is set to 3 .
5. Adjust the "focus " to make the image as clear as possible; in rare cases, if the results of fine adjustment and super-fine adjustment are still not clear enough, adjust to reduce the "aperture," then focus to obtain the clearest image.
6. Enter the file path and file name, click "Save Image" to save the current image.
