The E1101-SK is the complete day-one starter kit for the Accuris myGel Mini Electrophoresis System — bundling the E1101 chassis (110 V), A1701 Benchmark Agarose LE (100 g), and W4000-100 Accuris Mini 100 g / 0.01 g balance into a single procurement-line bundle. The kit gives a new lab everything needed to pour and run the first gel on day one: the integrated electrophoresis chassis (with both casting stands, trays, and combs included from the chassis-included starter kit), the agarose to make the gel, and the balance to weigh the agarose at gel-pour time.
Key Specifications
| SKU | E1101-SK |
| Voltage | 100–120 VAC (110 V model) |
| Bundle composition (per universe label) | E1101 (myGel Mini chassis 110 V) + A1701 (Benchmark Agarose LE, 100 g) + W4000-100 (Accuris Mini 100 g / 0.01 g balance) |
| List price | $790 |
Bundle Composition
| Component | SKU | Standalone list price | What it does |
| myGel Mini chassis (110 V) | E1101 | $692 | Integrated power-supply + tank + dual-format casting stands; ships with 2 casting stands, 6 gel trays, 4 combs |
| Benchmark Agarose LE, 100 g | A1701 | $162 | Multi-purpose, high-purity, low-EEO agarose. RNase / DNase / Protease-free per spec sheet. ~25 ml of agarose per 10.5 × 6 cm tray and proportionally less for the small format — 100 g supports a substantial number of gels at standard concentrations |
| Accuris Mini Balance, 100 g / 0.01 g | W4000-100 | $52 | Compact 2.6 × 3.9 in footprint balance for weighing agarose at gel-pour time. Backlit LCD, calibration function, AAA batteries, snap-on protective cover |
| Bundle total at standalone prices | | $906 | |
| E1101-SK bundle price | | $790 | $116 savings vs standalone procurement |
The bundle premium over the standalone E1101 chassis is $98, but the bundle includes $214 of agarose + balance — a $116 net savings vs procuring the three components separately.
Why a Starter Kit
Day-one-ready bench setup. A new lab installing the myGel Mini chassis without bundled agarose and balance has to source those items separately before running the first gel. The starter kit eliminates that procurement gap — open the box, weigh the agarose, pour the gel, run it.
Standardized agarose source. Benchmark Agarose LE is the agarose paired with the myGel Mini in Accuris's product literature; using the bundled agarose ensures the gel chemistry matches the chassis's voltage / buffer recommendations and avoids agarose-quality-related troubleshooting on day one.
Calibration-grade balance for accurate gel concentrations. The W4000-100 Mini balance at 0.01 g readability supports the 0.5 g – 2.0 g agarose-weighing range typical for 1–2% gel preparation in 25 ml tray volumes. Larger lab balances are over-engineered for this single workflow; the Mini balance is right-sized.
Teaching laboratory and field-deployment workflows. Educational programs and field-lab deployments benefit from single-line procurement of the complete electrophoresis-ready bench — order one SKU, receive the complete startup kit, deploy.
Application Profile
New-lab electrophoresis workflow setup — research labs, teaching labs, clinical-research labs, and field-deployed labs commissioning their first myGel Mini chassis benefit from the bundled-procurement approach.
Multi-site lab fleet deployment — facilities standardizing on the myGel Mini platform across multiple sites benefit from single-line bundle procurement for ordering consistency.
Teaching lab procurement — undergraduate and graduate molecular-biology programs commissioning teaching electrophoresis benches benefit from the day-one-ready bundle (no procurement gaps between equipment delivery and first student exercise).
Replacement / refresh for existing setups — labs replacing aging electrophoresis equipment can use the starter kit to refresh the entire workflow (new chassis + fresh agarose + new balance) on a single procurement line.
Field-deployment workflows — field-lab deployments (environmental sampling, agricultural diagnostics, veterinary diagnostics) benefit from the consolidated bundle that ships ready-to-run.
Ordering & Configuration
Bundle is workflow-complete for first-gel-day. Out of the box: chassis with both casting stands + trays + combs (per chassis-included starter kit), agarose, and balance. Operator-supplied items: TAE / TBE buffer (standard lab reagent, not bundled), DNA loading dye, ladder, samples.
Voltage-variant pairing. Order E1101-SK for 110 V outlets; a 230 V bundle ($823) with included AC transformer is available by special order for 230 V outlets.
Confirm at quote: voltage and plug type, lab's existing TAE / TBE buffer inventory, training requirements (the kit ships with the chassis user manual; agarose and balance are simpler to use), and lead time.
Warranty: Per Accuris standard warranty terms — confirm at quote. Component-level warranties (chassis 2 years per myGel Mini brochure; agarose per consumable terms; balance per accessory terms) apply individually.
Accuris myGel Mini starter-kit family voltage-variant pair:
- E1101-SK (this product) — 110 V chassis bundle (no transformer)
- 230 V chassis bundle — includes AC transformer (by special order)
Pick the SKU matching destination outlet voltage; both bundles include the same A1701 agarose and W4000-100 balance components.
