Hoefer Mighty Small SE 245 Dual Gel Caster Electrophoresis Accessory Used

The Hoefer Mighty Small SE 245 Dual Gel Caster is a purpose-built accessory designed to streamline the preparation of polyacrylamide gels for vertical electrophoresis. Compatible with the industry-standard Hoefer Mighty Small (SE 250 and SE 260) systems, this caster allows researchers to pour and polymerize up to two standard mini-gels simultaneously. It utilizes a reliable cam-action clamping mechanism and thick rubber gaskets to create a tight, leak-free seal at the base of the glass plates, ensuring consistent gel thickness and preventing the loss of toxic acrylamide solutions.

Condition Notes

• Condition: Used / Inspected & Good Condition.
• Functional Status: Visually inspected for completeness and mechanical integrity. The black cam-action lever smoothly engages to provide upward pressure against the base seals. The grey clamp assemblies feature smooth-turning thumb screws for securing glass plates.
• Cosmetic Status: Good used condition. The red base and grey clamp assemblies are structurally sound without any cracks or breaks. There is standard cosmetic wear, including minor scuffing and light dried buffer/polyacrylamide residue typical of routine laboratory casting procedures.
  
• Serial Number: Not explicitly badged on this accessory.
