Description
Owl™ Casting Dams - 20 cm are high-quality aluminium casting dams that block off a portion of the gel tray so shorter gels or gradient gels can be cast and run with confidence. They seal agarose on contact, removing the need for tape, and do not attach to the gel tray, which means gels of any length can be poured as required. Easy handling is supported by a knob or finger depressions for precise placement and repositioning. Each dam blocks off a section of the UVT gel tray and is specified at 20 cm depth for use with Owl™ systems. Supplied as one piece, this casting accessory from manufacturer Thermo Scientific supports flexible gel casting setups in electrophoresis workflows, whether you need compact gels or controlled gradient formats. The aluminium construction and contact seal design make day-to-day casting cleaner and more reproducible without adhesive tape or fixed tray attachments.

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.
