Gel Electrophoresis Equipment in Gambia
Available Gel Electrophoresis Equipment Models

Gel electrophoresis is a fundamental laboratory technique used to separate biomolecules, primarily DNA, RNA, and proteins, based on their size and electrical charge. At its core, gel electrophoresis equipment comprises a gel matrix (typically agarose or polyacrylamide), a buffer solution, a power supply, and a gel casting system. The gel acts as a molecular sieve, allowing smaller molecules to migrate more quickly through its pores than larger ones.

The process involves preparing a gel, loading the prepared sample (e.g., DNA fragments, protein samples) into wells within the gel, and then applying an electric current across the gel. Since biomolecules carry intrinsic charges (e.g., DNA and RNA are negatively charged due to their phosphate backbone, while proteins can be charged depending on their amino acid composition and pH), they will migrate towards the electrode with the opposite charge. The rate of migration is inversely proportional to the size of the molecule and its charge density, thus achieving separation. Specialized visualization techniques, such as staining or fluorescence, are then used to detect and analyze the separated bands.

In The Gambia, gel electrophoresis equipment is an indispensable tool for a range of healthcare and research facilities. Its ability to separate and analyze biomolecules like DNA, RNA, and proteins makes it critical for both diagnostic and research purposes. Key institutions requiring this technology include:

The cost of gel electrophoresis equipment in Gambia can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the specific type of system, its features, brand reputation, and whether you are purchasing a complete setup or individual components. For basic, entry-level gel electrophoresis units suitable for routine DNA or RNA analysis, you can typically expect prices to range from GMD 30,000 to GMD 80,000. These units generally include a gel tank, power supply, and basic accessories.

More advanced systems, such as those offering higher throughput, specialized applications like protein electrophoresis, or integrated features for safety and ease of use, will naturally command a higher price. These can range from GMD 90,000 to GMD 250,000 or more. This could include systems with built-in cooling for higher voltages, multiple gel casting capabilities, or digital displays and programming options for the power supply.

It's also important to consider the cost of consumables and accessories. While not part of the initial equipment purchase, items like agarose, buffers, DNA ladders, staining reagents, and personal protective equipment (gloves, lab coats) will represent an ongoing operational expense. When budgeting, factor in potential shipping costs and any applicable import duties or taxes, which can influence the final price in Gambia.
