• Automatically separate and stain proteins under controlled power and temperature conditions.
• Program and store nine separation protocols of nine steps each, and nine staining protocols of 20 steps each.
• Regulate gel temperature through Peltier-controlled support bed.
• Assure reproducibility with quality-tested precast gels, buffer strips, and staining kits.

PhastSystem™ consists of a Separation-Control unit for system control and electrophoresis, and a Development Unit for gel staining. The optional PhastTransfer Kit quickly converts the system into a semi-dry blotting unit. Electrophoresis is performed on a thermostatic plate capable of maintaining temperatures accurately from 0°C to 70°C. Multistep programming capability allows gels to be prerun, loaded, and run automatically. Controlled parameters include temperature, voltage, current, power, and volt-hours.

The stainless steel development unit is capable of processing two gels simultaneously at temperatures from ambient to 50°C. Up to nine different reagents can be used in a single processing program.

The combination of PhastSystem with PhastGels and buffer strips provides an integrated system of unsurpassed quality, flexibility, and reproducibility with a minimum of manual involvement. A substantial list of applications testifies to the utility of PhastSystem.
