Electrophoresis gel kit from ebay

[Dory]

Okay, I'm ordering one for sure. Can you help me find one on ebay? I mostly be looking to separate proteins and substances from plants. Can you guys recommend one that:

A) It looks fine from the details/picture
B) Not "too" pricy - it just needs to do its job. If I can get away with less than 100$ for a working one it's fine. I don't mind paying more if something is there.
C) The delivery price is reasonable

Also, if it looks really cool, I don't mind adding a bit more $

On second thought buying that second-hand seems like a bad idea...I'd look at online first-hand stores

Used to do gel electrophoresis 35 yesrs ago on ground up frog's livers...

Those were the days...

Forgotten all the details now, of course...

Heh. Awesome. Where's your kit? Is it still working?

I'll look for one in my home country I think. Shipping those heavy shit is costly.

All done in the University of Melbourne Zoology department as a honours year student, many moons ago...

Dory, I'd advise you to buy the box and the power pack separately (second hand if possible) and make your own gels from polyacrylamide/agarose.

Thanks Genes, I'll see what the science-lab supplier store has to say. Buying pricy, heavy stuff out of e-bay will result in the delivery costing a fortune, sadly. There's no second hand power packs in Israel.
