Description
A2 and A5 Large Gel Electrophoresis System Standard Prep Comb is a heavy-duty, one-piece electrophoresis comb with 2 teeth and a tooth thickness of 1,5 mm. Designed for Owl A2 and A5 Large Gel Electrophoresis Systems, it removes the need for comb assembly and provides a robust format for preparative sample loading. The one-piece construction supports reliable well formation in agarose or similar slab gels used for nucleic acid separation and related laboratory workflows. This prep comb fits the standard comb interface of the A2 and A5 platforms, helping laboratories maintain consistent well geometry when larger sample volumes or preparative lanes are required. Supplied by manufacturer Thermo Scientific as a Fisherbrand™-style accessory for these Owl systems, the comb is offered as a single piece for straightforward replacement or expansion of existing comb sets. It is intended for routine molecular biology and teaching electrophoresis setups that rely on durable, ready-to-use combs rather than multi-part assemblies.

Questions about A2 and A5 Large Gel Electrophoresis System Standard Comb Prep comb 2 1.5mm -
What is this article?
A2 and A5 Large Gel Electrophoresis System Standard Comb Prep comb 2 1.5mm - is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Thermo Scientific - Equipment LED for laboratory use. It sits in Gels, combs & casting accessories, inside Electrophoresis, in Microbiology lab supplies.
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.
