The EZSwitch Adjustable Spacing Gel Loader is for loading samples on the 96 lane ABI 377 DNA sequencer.
Syringes have removable needles with flexible tips.
The sample lanes on the 96 lane ABI 377 DNA sequencer are spaced slightly wider than the standard well spacing on microplates. Flexible Tip Protects Needles from Damage A frequent cause of damage to syringe sample loaders is permanent bending of the syringe needles. Robbins has found a unique solution to this problem. Instead of a single, rigid thin needle, the EZSwitch gel loader uses a durable, stainless steel needle with a flexible, metallic tip inserted into its end. The flexible needle tip design reduces the frequency of syringe repairs and saves money on replacement parts.
