|||||
  Figure 1 |
Can be clipped onto all France bridges. It applies 8 specimens
simultaneously to the Cellogel strip of 5.7 cm width, leaving 8
marks of the same dimensions as Figure 1a. Each of the 8 tips applies
0.3 µl on 5 mm. The unloading of the tips is complete after
the application time of at least 10 seconds. The specimen holder
base has 3 rows of 8 drop holders onto which volumes of 20 µl
serum are pipetted. This applicator enables the rapid application
of 24 samples on 3 strips already positioned in the chamber. If
the first notch is
used the deposits are aligned at 27 mm distance from the cathodic
edge. If the last notch is used the deposits are aligned 9 mm from
the cathodic edge. The applicator serves not only for classical micro electrophoresis with 20 mm migration but also for the “Microlong”, i.e. high resolution micro-electrophoresis. This latter method is recommendable for the rapid search for monoclonal gammapathies including incipient ones. |

Semimicro 2+2 code 12A02/SU Studied for simultaneous IFE of serum and urine (kit Code 08C09). It can be clipped onto France bridges. It applies 4 specimens simultaneously on two strips, 2.5x14 cm, positioned at the lateral extremities of the bridge. Each of the 4 tips applies 0.7 µl on 7 mm. The unloading of the tips is complete after an application time of at least 10 seconds. For this type of use 25 µl of serum and 25 µl of concentrated urine are pipetted onto the drop holder of the base of the sample holder. It can be utilised for semi-micro electrophoresis of 2 samples on strips 2.5x14 or 2.5x17 cm. |
 |
Semimicro 4P4 code 12A08/4P4 It can be clipped on all France bridges. It applies 4 specimens simultaneously on the 5.7 cm wide Cellogel strip leaving 4 marks of the same dimensions as the Figure 1c. Each of the 4 tips applies 0.9 µl on 9 mm. The unloading of the tips is completed after an application time of at least 10 seconds. The base of the specimen holder has 3 rows of 4 drop holders onto which 30 µl are pipetted. This applicator makes it possible to deposit 12 samples rapidly on three strips already positioned in the tank. If the first notch is used the deposits will be aligned at 27 cm from the cathodic edge. If the last notch is selected the deposits will be aligned 9 mm from the cathodic edge. This applicator serves not only for classical semi-micro electrophoresis with 35 mm run but also for the prolonged semi-micro of 45-55 mm. |
 |
Semimicro 4P code 12A05 Recommended for electrophoresis of hemoglobins. It can be clipped onto all France bridges and applies 4 specimens simultaneously onto the 5.7 cm wide Cellogel strips leaving marks of the same dimensions as Figure 1d. Each of the tips applies 1.2 µl on 9 mm. The unloading of the tips is completed after an application time of at least 10 seconds. The base of the specimen holder has 3 rows of 4 drop holders onto which 30 µl serum are pipetted. This applicator renders it possible to deposit 12 specimens rapidly on three strips already positioned in the tank. If the first notch on the bridge is selected, the deposits will be aligned at 27 mm from the cathodic edge. If the last notch is selected the deposits will be aligned at 9 mm from the cathodic edge. |
This applicator is utilised with
Cellogel 250 µ or more thick, for deposits, even repeated,
of serum to determine the lipoproteins or the isoenzymes (e.g. for
the gamma GT which needs 4 repeated deposits for a total of about
5 µl). This applicator cannot be used on dry micro-porous
acetate membranes because the deposit would spread giving an unacceptable
start point for good electrophoresis. The deposit, even repeated,
on Cellogel maintains a perfect mark and is a suitable start point
for excellent migration. |

Semimicro 6P2 code 12A08/6P2
It can be clipped onto all France bridges and applies 6 specimens simultaneously on the 5.7 cm wide Cellogel strip leaving 6 marks of the same dimensions as Figure 1b. Each of the 6 tips applies 0.7 µl on 7 mm. The unloading of the tips is completed after an application time of at least 10 seconds. The base of the specimen holder has 3 rows of 6 drop holders onto which 25 µl serum are pipetted. This applicator renders it possible to deposit 18 samples rapidly on three strips already positioned in the tank. If the first notch of the bridge is selected the deposits will be aligned at 27 mm from the cathodic edge. If the last notch is selected the deposits will be aligned at 9 mm from the cathodic edge. |

Semimicro 18P2 code 12A20/18P2
It can be clipped onto long bridges (code 11B06 and code 11B15). It applies 18 specimens simultaneously on Cellogel sheets positioned on the above mentioned bridges. Each of the 18 tips applies 0.7 µl on 7 mm. The unloading of the tips is completed after an application time of at least 10 seconds. The disposable specimen holder is moulded in transparent polystyrene and is inserted into the base of the applicator. It holds 3 rows of 18 rectangular sample points, 9 mm pitch, suitable for multiple pipetting dispensing 25 µl of specimens. This applicator can be used for high resolution electrophoresis of 18-36 samples with two tanks. |

Volumetric Distributor,
Model DC/3, code 13A23 With this device, moulded in transparent polystyrene, it is possible to distribute on the surface of Cellogel strips, 2.5 cm wide, laid on the electrophoretic bridge, measured volumes of 40, 75 and 100 µl of anti-serum (immunofixation) or an enzymatic substrate (isoenzymes LDH, CPK,Gamma GT, etc) obtaining a large saving in reagents which generally have high costs. Particularly, in the case of the IFE of 1 patient on a semi-micro scale after electrophoresis of serum+urine on 6 strips (Kit code 08C09), the first strip is placed in staining while the second is stratified with the DC/3 Volumetric Distributor with 40 µl of anti IgG anti-serum, 40 mm long in the migration zone. The same is undertaken with the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th strips respectively with anti-IgA, anti-IgM, anti-K and anti-Lambda antisera. The five distributors are washed while the 5 strips are left in incubation at room temperature for 15 minutes. At the end of incubation, the strips are washed in saline solution and they are stained with amidoblack (see instructions for use of Kit, code 08C09). Another important use of the Volumetric Distributor is the stratification of the stain substrate to reveal, for example, the LDH isoenzymes of the serum, immediately after the electrophoretic migration of the samples. In this case are sufficient 75 µl of the expensive reagent of NAD, MTT and Fenazine Metasulfate stratified on the surface of 2.5x14 cm strips still laid on the bridge to reveal the 5 isoenzymatic fractions of LDH after 30 minutes incubation at 37°C (see instructions for use of staining solution, code 08C01). |

Volumetric
Distributor, Model DC/6, code 13A24 This device is used to distribute volumes of 100-150 µl of antisera or enzymatic chromogens on 5.7x14 cm strips laid on the France bridge of the electrophoretic chamber. The distributor DC/6 is ideal for preparing the Cellogel strip impregnated with 2-4 µl/cm2 of specific anti-serum to determine the quantity of single proteins by the Laurell technique (Rockets). See Electroimmunodiffusion instructions for determination of albumin, alfa1 anti-trypsin, anti-Lpa etc. The DC/6 model is also used for two dimensional immunoelectrophoresis to stratify, for example, 140 µl of total anti human antiserum to perform the second dimension consisting of the migration in antibody field of all the human proteins separated during electrophoresis of the first dimension. |

Plastic Guide for two-dimensional
Immunoelectrophoresis, code 13A26
The guide is clipped onto the 8.5 cm bridge on which the 14x14 cm sheet of Cellogel has been placed and is used to deposit the serum diluted 1:4 of the first dimension and to guide the DC/6 distributor in the second dimension at the moment of applying the antiserum. Cellogel is unique for the performance of this technique which is also used by producers of antisera to control their specificity. 2D-IEP on Cellogel offers a higher sensitivity to Agarose and exceptional simplicity because the sample containing immunoglobulins does not retromigrate and does not need preliminary carbamilation to chemically modify the immunoglobins as required by Agarose. |

Plastic Guide for Crossover, code 13A29
It can be clipped onto France bridges. This guide, moulded in transparent polystyrene, permits the depositing of sera, anti-sera or pure antigens in the Crossover technique or counterimmunoelectrophoresis on buffered Cellogel 5.7x14 cm placed on the bridge. |

Guide for quantitative
Radial Immunodiffusion (Mancini Technique)
This guide is needed only for depositing specimens on “Cellogel/Myl” 6x7.6 cm (Cellogel on a film of Mylar) and impregnated with 1-2 µl of antiserum per cm2. To perform this quantitative technique at very low cost it is necessary to master the use of Microcaps of 1 µl required for a perfect deposit of the samples, generally diluted and pre-stained with Bromophenol Blue. |
