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.
