The E1200-CS1 is the extra casting set for the Accuris myGel InstaView Electrophoresis System (E1200 / E1201) — bundled with stand + trays + E1101-COMB1 double-sided combs for casting both gel formats supported by the InstaView gel tank: 10.5 × 10 cm (large format, full tank capacity) and 10.5 × 6 cm (small format). Cross-product comb compatibility — the InstaView casting set uses the same E1101-COMB1 reversible combs (22 teeth / 12 teeth) as the myGel Mini's CS1 stand, simplifying spare-comb inventory across labs running both myGel platforms.

Compatibility & When to Order This SKU
Order this SKU when:
- Parallel gel-prep capacity — labs running back-to-back gels benefit from a second casting set to pour and set the next gel while the first is running on the InstaView chassis.
- Replacement — if an existing casting set is damaged, warped, or has reached service life from extended use.
- Spare-rotation for heavy-throughput labs — labs running 5+ gels per day benefit from multiple casting sets rotating through prep, run, and clean cycles.
- Multi-format workflow setup — facilities running both 10.5 × 10 cm large-format (high-throughput) and 10.5 × 6 cm small-format (rapid-screening) workflows benefit from spare casting sets to avoid format-switching downtime between runs.
- Multi-chassis facility consumable inventory — facilities running multiple InstaView chassis maintain spare casting set inventory.
Cross-Product Comb Compatibility
The E1200-CS1 casting set uses the E1101-COMB1 reversible 22/12-teeth comb — the same comb format as the myGel Mini's E1101-CS1 casting stand. This cross-product compatibility means:
- Spare-comb inventory consolidation — labs running both myGel Mini (E1101) and myGel InstaView (E1200 / E1201) platforms can stock a single comb SKU that fits both chassis casting sets.
- Simpler comb procurement — no separate "InstaView combs" SKU to manage; the E1101-COMB1 SKU is the universal spare for both platforms.
- Reversible comb advantage carries through — the 22-teeth edge supports up to 22 sample lanes per gel; the 12-teeth edge supports 12 wider lanes for higher per-lane volume capacity.
Design Architecture
Gel-pour workflow. Same as myGel Mini casting workflow — casting stand on level surface, gel tray with comb inserted at the well-end, agarose poured, gel sets in ~20 minutes, comb gently lifted out, gel-tray placed in the InstaView migration tank.
Dual gel-format support. The casting set supports both InstaView-compatible gel formats:
- 10.5 × 10 cm large-format — full tank capacity, more lanes, larger gel area for better band separation, suitable for high-throughput sample loads
- 10.5 × 6 cm small-format — half tank capacity, rapid-screening workflows, less agarose / buffer per run
Cleaning between runs. Standard agarose-gel-tray cleaning practices apply; water or neutral cleaner per Accuris recommendation.
Application Profile
Parallel gel-prep workflows on the InstaView platform — labs running real-time visualization gels back-to-back benefit from a spare casting set.
Multi-format InstaView workflows — labs that run both the 10.5 × 10 cm and 10.5 × 6 cm formats benefit from dedicated casting sets per format (avoid format-switching downtime).
Replacement inventory — facilities maintaining preventive-maintenance spare-parts inventory for heavy-use InstaView chassis.
Multi-chassis facility consumable management — consolidated purchasing for shared facilities running multiple InstaView chassis.
Ordering & Configuration
Bundle composition note. Per universe label, the E1200-CS1 SKU includes stand + trays + double-sided combs as a complete extra casting set — confirm tray quantity at order if specific multi-gel parallel-prep needs require additional spare trays beyond bundle quantity.
Confirm at quote: chassis pairing (E1200 / E1201 in inventory), workflow throughput need (parallel-prep capacity vs replacement), comb spare-inventory needs (E1101-COMB1 sold pack of 2), and lead time.
Warranty: Per Accuris standard accessory terms — confirm at quote.
myGel InstaView casting and comb compatibility:
- E1200-CS1 (this product) — Extra casting set for InstaView (stand + trays + double-sided combs)
- E1101-COMB1 — Spare reversible combs (22/12 teeth) — pack of 2 — fits both InstaView casting set AND myGel Mini E1101-CS1 stand
Cross-product comb compatibility supports consolidated spare-comb inventory across the myGel platform family.
