Gradient Master™ Basiseinheit

Functional Principle:
The Gradient Master™ forms 6 identical linear density gradients in 1-2 min using a technique called tilted tube rotation. The gradient forming process involves layering the two end point solutions (i.e. 5% and 30% sucrose) directly in the centrifuge tube, the tube is capped to lock in the solutions, placed in a holder and rotated at a high tilt angle for a fixed time and speed. This process is easy, fast and highly reproducible. There is no competing device with this capability.

The GM Base Unit is provided without tube holder. The MagnaBase™ Tube Holder has to be purchased seperatly. Each tube size requires a seperate tube holder. Sets of interchangeable MagnaBase™ Tube Holders can be found in the accessories.

The Gradient Master™ has been tested for a variety of solutions, e.g. sucrose, glycerol, Optiprep®, Nycodenz®, Ficoll®, Percoll®, Metrizamide, Renografin®, NaCl, CsCl, NaAc or KCl.
