Advance acoustic Mupid-2plus User manual

DIC C-268 DIC 162

Introduction
The Mupid series are mainly used in agarose electrophoresis. The greatest feature
is their compactness by the one apparatus power supply. The Mupid-2 has an
outstanding track record over some 20 years and has been incorporated into the
standard protocol of numerous testing manuals in Japan.
This model, the Mupid-2plus, retains all the performance of the Mupid-2 with
improved usability based on the ideas of the researchers using it. The Mupid-2plus
can be used under exactly the same test conditions as instructed in previous
testing manuals for the Mupid-2.
Please read this user manual carefully. Further information can be seen at the

Safety Precautions
Confirmation of Migration Conditions
- For product safety, if electrical current runs at 0.8 A or more the fuse will blow and
operation will stop. In such a case, contact a distributor for repair.
- Even if the fuse does not blow, accurate results are difficult to obtain if the temperature
exceeds 40 ˚C during migration, and the following changes should be considered in
such a case:
(1) Change the type of buffer.
(For example, change TAE buffer to TBE buffer for lower current usage)
(2) Reduce the concentration of buffer.
(3) Cool the buffer.
Do not use this product with wet hands.
Always use the special-purpose lid and power supply for the
migration tank. We are not responsible for any accidents or
damage caused by the use of other devices or equipment.
The power supply cannot be disconnected while the migration
tank lid is closed. Attempting to do so can cause damage.
Do not put fingers or objects into the migration tank while
electrical current is running.
Always make certain to turn off the power supply after the
electrophoretic run.
Always verify that the power supply is OFF and the migration tank
lid is opened before detaching the power supply.
When this product is not in use, or when you move it, detach the
power supply from the migration tank and remove the plug from
the outlet.
If this product is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the product may be
impaired.

2 Gel Preparation
(1) Place the gel maker stand level and set the gel tray into
the stand. At maximum, four mini gels and two large
gels can be prepared at once.
If the gel tray is not placed level, the thickness
of the gel will not be uniform and migration
may be affected.
If preparation is conducted at 80 °C or higher,
there is a danger of deforming the gel maker
stand and gel tray.
(2) Weigh the required amounts of agarose powder and
buffer solution in a conical flask or other vessels, and
completely dissolve the agarose by applying heat.
(3) Let the agarose solution stand until it cools to 70 °C or
below.
(4) Set the comb into the gel maker stand. Choose the
small-toothed side (4 mm ×8 or 17 wells) or the large-
toothed side (6 mm ×6 or 12 wells) depending on the
purpose. Multiple combs can also be set for a single gel.
(5) Pour the appropriate amount of agarose solution into the
gel tray. To prepare a gel of about 4 mm thickness,
approximately 13 mL of agarose solution is required for
a mini gel and 26 mL for a large gel.
The order of steps (4) and (5) can be
reversed. For high-viscosity gels in which
air bubbles may be apt to remain,
performing step (5) first is recommended.

5 Product Maintenance
Do not let buffer stand in the migration tank for a long time or re-use it. This can
not only prevent accurate test results, but can also cause damage.
Detach the power supply when discarding
buffer or cleaning the migration tank.
When detaching the power supply, push the top
with the thumb as illustrated in the figure at
right. Don't pull on the electric cord.
If buffer is spilled on the power supply, dry it thoroughly and have it checked at a
distributor as a precautionary measure.
Although the migration tank does not have any electrical switch, do not clean it by
immersion in water.
Polishing or cleaning the electrode with a brush can cause breakage and should
be avoided.
After cleaning, allow it to dry it in a place out of direct sunlight. Do not dry it under
severe conditions such as a dry oven, or a hair dryer.
Do not clean this product with organic solvents such as acetone. Deformation
could result.
Do not attempt to modify this product.
This product is designed to run on input of 100-120 V of alternating current; if
using it in a country where voltage is higher, be sure to use a step-down
transformer. When there is the necessity of keeping the temperature of buffer liquid
low, It recommends using it in 100 VAC.

4 Gel Staining and Band Confirmation
(1)
(1) Verify that the operation switch is OFF, the output
indicator LED is unlit and that the platinum electrode is
not forming bubbles.
(2) Remove the migration tank lid. It can be removed by
grasping the handle on the front of the lid and rotating
it open.
(3) After preparing the dye in a sealable container,
remove the gel tray from the migration tank. Submerge
the gel in the stain solution, either together with the
gel tray or after removing it from the gel tray.
(4) After allowing it to stand for the required amount of time, remove or
de-stain the gel and place it on the transilluminator for observation.
7P10P

(6) Before the solution gels, remove air bubbles from
the bottom surface of the gel tray using a glass rod
or other tools. Because bubbles on or in the gel will
affect migration, they should be drawn out with a
dropper, etc.
(7) Let it stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to allow
the solution to gel. Gelation may require more time if the
agarose concentration is low.
(8) When the solution has sufficiently gelled, hold the comb at
each end and gently lift it upward. Confirm the rectangular
shape of the wells and the absence of air bubbles.
(9) Grasp the both sides of the gel tray with hands and lift it up and out. Because
the gel is placed in the migration tank together with the gel tray, preparation
is complete at this point.
(2)
If the gel will not be used immediately, pour a small amount of
buffer solution over the gel and wrap it to prevent drying or
contamination.
Because of the danger of
overturning the migration tank,
do not lift the lid directly over it.
Because stains act directly on biological
molecules such as DNA, they are
potentially harmful to the human body.
Handle them carefully, wearing gloves
and avoiding direct contact with the skin.
When using ultraviolet light, be sure to protect eyes and skin
by wearing UV-protective goods such as a faceshield.
Stained gels and buffer solutions, etc. should be disposed of
as directed in the instructions for the stain. Clean off all
stains that adhere to the migration tank, gel tray or other
components.

Indication line
(1) Place the prepared gel on the gel bed of the migration
tank together with the tray. Since the side near the
power supply is cathode, wells should be placed on
the right for migration of nucleic acids in most cases.
Wipe off any excess gel that is adhering around and
bottom surface of the gel tray.
(2) Pour buffer solution to a level of about 3 mm above
the surface of the gel. However, do not fill above the
level of the buffer indication line. 250-300 mL of
buffer is required.
(3) Connect the power supply to the migration tank and
inset the electric plug into an outlet. The electric
current cannot be turned on with the lid open.
(4) Apply the sample to the wells using a pipette. The
amount of applicable sample depends on the
thickness of the gel; for example, a 4 mm well will
take about 5-8 µl and a 6mm well about 8-12 µl.
Note that the wells do not correspond to the pitch of
a multipipette.
(1) (2)
(5) After verifying that the operation switch of the power
supply is OFF, close the migration tank lid.
Do this as follows:
1) First insert the 2 tabs on the cover into the holes in
the migration tank.
2) Then rotate the cover forward to close it.
(6) Set the desired voltage using the output selection
switch.
(7) Push the operation switch to start migration. At this
time verify that the output indicator LED is lit and that
bubbles are forming on the platinum electrodes.
(8) Migration distance may be estimated using the line
printed on the gel tray or the slits on the migration tank
lid. Be sure to turn the operation switch OFF when
sufficient migration has been attained.
(9) Then proceed quickly to the operation of staining the gel.

Safety Precautions
Confirmation of Migration Conditions
- For product safety, if electrical current runs at 0.8 A or more the fuse will blow and
operation will stop. In such a case, contact a distributor for repair.
- Even if the fuse does not blow, accurate results are difficult to obtain if the temperature
exceeds 40 ˚C during migration, and the following changes should be considered in
such a case:
(1) Change the type of buffer.
(For example, change TAE buffer to TBE buffer for lower current usage)
(2) Reduce the concentration of buffer.
(3) Cool the buffer.
Do not use this product with wet hands.
Always use the special-purpose lid and power supply for the
migration tank. We are not responsible for any accidents or
damage caused by the use of other devices or equipment.
The power supply cannot be disconnected while the migration
tank lid is closed. Attempting to do so can cause damage.
Do not put fingers or objects into the migration tank while
electrical current is running.
Always make certain to turn off the power supply after the
electrophoretic run.
Always verify that the power supply is OFF and the migration tank
lid is opened before detaching the power supply.
When this product is not in use, or when you move it, detach the
power supply from the migration tank and remove the plug from
the outlet.
If this product is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the product may be
impaired.
