Description
Owl™ External Caster is a dedicated replacement casting accessory for the EasyCast B1 Mini Gel Electrophoresis System. It restores external gel-casting capability on the compact horizontal mini gel platform that handles 5 to 34 samples per run, supporting routine nucleic-acid separation and related electrophoretic workflows. Trays and combs are not included, so the unit focuses solely on the caster function required for consistent gel preparation. Designed for use with the Owl EasyCast B1 Mini Gel Electrophoresis System, this replacement part helps laboratories keep existing instruments fully operational without replacing the complete tank assembly. The EasyCast B1 format is valued for its compact footprint and flexible sample throughput in teaching, research and quality-control settings. Mid-description reference: the caster is offered from manufacturer Thermo Scientific as a genuine Owl replacement component. Supplied as a single piece, it is intended for maintenance stock or direct swap-out when the original external caster is worn or missing. Specifying the correct caster type ensures proper alignment with B1 trays and combs already in use, preserving casting geometry and run-to-run reproducibility in horizontal mini-gel electrophoresis.

A gel, a comb and a casting tray make the slab a sample runs through. Agarose percentage, or the acrylamide mix, sets the sieve. The comb thickness and the number of teeth set the wells. Precast and hand-cast gels are different products. A comb for a different tray does not seal.
Electrophoresis pulls charged molecules through a gel. Smaller ones move farther. Agarose gels separate nucleic acids. Polyacrylamide gels separate proteins. A comb forms the wells. A power supply holds the voltage or the current. The gel percentage is the sieve. A marker lane is how the bands are named. The methods are in the PubMed literature. Sequences of the nucleic acids are on NCBI Nucleotide.
