Electrophoresis & Transfer Systems
A complete line of high precision horizontal gel electrophoresis systems and macromolecular transfer tools are available from Tyler Research.
Horizontal Electrophoresis
An extensive array of horizontal gel systems is available for high resolution analytical and preparative electrophoresis. Computer aided design and manufacturing techniques have enabled us to incorporate the advanced features demanded by researchers at very competitive prices.

- UV-blocking exterior shells and trays
- Custom modifications readily accommodated
Seven classes of Tyler Research standard horizontal gel systems are available with gel bed dimensions ranging from 65mm x 65mm to 200mm x 250mm. The sliding gate design in all of these permits the pouring and running of gels of different lengths in the same unit (see the comparison matrix in the Horizontal Electrophoresis pdf file below for detailed information relating to each model). This allows the investigator to conserve agarose whenever possible, while still permitting maximum resolution when required.
All Tyler Research horizontal systems may be run in both submarine and agarose wick formats. The latter is particularly useful for high resolution separation of RNA fractions, and the sliding gate system operates within a modified J-wick assembly that permits rapid gel preparation and safe disposal of potentially toxic gel waste.
Tyler Research manufactures a complete line of horizontal electrophoresis systems conforming to the stringent Cambridge University (U.K) guidelines for safety interlocking. Any system described on this site may be ordered to these standards by using the suffix-UK after the model number (e.g. MHG-06UK). All such models feature full inversion-seal chambers and integral shrouded power cables.
Macromolecular Transfer & Elution Systems
Tyler Research offers a complete line of instruments engineered for the processing of samples following electrophoretic seperation. These include electrophoretic and vacuum transfer devices for third dimension blotting of protein and nucleic acid samples onto membranes, specialized electroelution systems, and high resolution preparative gel devices. Characterized by simple, elegant designs and manufactured to exacting standards, these instruments represent the state of the art in post-processing technology.
