Uhlelo lwe-DYCP-31DN lusetshenziselwa ukuhlonza, ukuhlukanisa, ukulungisa i-DNA, kanye nokukala isisindo samangqamuzana. Yenziwe nge-polycarbonate yekhwalithi ephezulu enhle futhi ehlala isikhathi eside. Kulula ukubona ijeli ngethangi elikhanyayo. Sinikeza usayizi ohlukile wama-combs ahlangabezana nezidingo zakho ezihlukile zokuhlola.
I-Gel electrophoresis ivumela ukuhlukaniswa kwama-nucleic acid (i-DNA noma i-RNA) namaprotheni ngokusekelwe kusayizi wawo. I-Electrophoresis isetshenziswa amalebhu afunda imigomo, imithi, i-forensics, iphrofayili ye-DNA noma ezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza zesayensi yempilo. Le nqubo ibuye isetshenziswe embonini efana nezimayini noma isayensi yokudla.
I-Gel electrophoresis isebenzisa i-matrix yejeli enezimbotshana lapho amaprotheni noma ama-nucleic acid afuduka khona. Kokubili ama-nucleic acid namaprotheni aneshaja kagesi enenegative, indawo esetshenziswa ukusiza ukufuduka kwe-molecule efiswayo phakathi nendawo.
Ibhokisi lejeli lifaka i-cathode ekugcineni kanye ne-anode ngakolunye. Ibhokisi ligcwaliswa nge-ionic buffer, edala inkambu kagesi uma kufakwa inkokhiso. Njengoba amaprotheni nama-nucleic acid anecala elibi ngendlela efanayo, ama-molecule azofuduka aye ku-electrode eqondile. Isivinini salokhu kufuduka sincike ekutheni ama-molecule ahamba kalula kanjani embotsheni yejeli. Uma i-molecule encane, "ingena" kalula ngokusebenzisa ama-pores, futhi ngaleyo ndlela, ifuduka ngokushesha. Lapho isiqediwe, le nqubo iphumela emaqenjini ayingqayizivele amaprotheni noma ama-nucleic acid ahlukaniswa ngokusekelwe esisindweni samangqamuzana awo. Ukuqala ngezinto ezihlukene, le nqubo iyindlela enamandla yokubona nokuhlukanisa ama-molecule ahlukene.
