Description:

The GD-4534 and GD-5040 vacuum gel dryers are ideal for drying sequencing gels or multiple small format gels.

A cast-aluminium base, overlaid with a porous stainless steel sheet, evenly distributes the heat generated by an 800-Watt heating element, which is set in increments of +/-2°C to a maximum temperature of 90°C.

Both the heating element and vacuum pump are timer-controlled so that the drying time and vacuum pump can be set in 1-minute increments to a maximum of 5 hours, while each unit is lightweight, despite its robust construction, for easy transportation around the laboratory
