Ettan IPGphor 3 IEF system is a fully integrated isoelectric focusing system optimized to deliver speed and reliability in the first dimension of 2-D electrophoresis Run up to 12 IPG strips (7, 11, 13, 18, or 24 cm) simultaneously using Ettan IPGphor manifold, Ettan IPGphor Manifold Light, or ceramic strip holders Use sample cups with Ettan IPGphor manifold or Ettan IPGphor manifold light to significantly increase protein loads Ettan IPGphor 3 Control Software allows management of up to four Ettan IPGphor 3 IEF units simultaneously, each running a different set of run parameters Lid design allows optimum running with light-sensitive protein samples The system is fully compatible with the earlier Ettan IPGphor IEF unit and is ideal for 2-D DIGE applications Automatic voltage cutoff when safety lid is opened
