美国Bio-rad伯乐CHEF Mapper XA脉冲场电泳仪
 CHEF MAPPER XA 是目前最高端的脉冲场电泳系统，拥有专利设计的六角形电极的电泳槽，保证矢量电场的自由旋转，比常规的脉冲场电泳提供更高的分辨率，电泳速度和更精确的分离，对100bp-10Mb的DNA片段都能提供有效的分离。主要用于基因组DNA的分离分析，大分子DNA的指纹图谱分析及多态性分析等。
1．自动演算：Bio-Rad积多年在脉冲场电泳方面的经验，提供给用户一套程序用于优化实验参数。只要输入待分离DNA片段的最小、最大长度，结合10个主要变量的确定，帮助使用者获得最理想的实验条件。
2．脉冲角度：可以在0-360°间自由选择脉冲角度，使用户可以在同一系统上实现大至染色体级、小至质粒DNA的有效分离。
3．时间转换梯度：有线性、非线性（凸形和凹形）两种脉冲时间梯度，非线性梯度可以提供更广泛的分离动态范围，使用户可以精确的确定分离片段的大小。
4．多状态功能：CHEF Mapper XA在一个Block中可以有15个电场矢量，每个电场矢量可以有自己的电压和转换时间，可有选择地对一定大小范围的片段进行更精细的分离，并且可以在同一次电泳中实现FIGE和CHEF两种技术。
5．二次脉冲功能：二次脉冲可加速DNA从琼脂糖凝胶中释放，从而有利于非常大的DNA片段的分离，并可提高分辨率。
6．技术应用：
CHEF（钳式均衡电场）技术，产生均衡电场；
PACE（程序自主控制电极）技术，根据片断大小的需要优化设定脉冲角度；
FIGE（电场倒置）技术，为 250KB以下小片断DNA提供快速分离；
AFIGE（非对称场倒置）技术，精细分离小片断DNA，提高分辨率；
以上技术的应用保证了科研人员在所有分子量范围内均能得到所最佳的线性分离。

Accurate sizing of fragments requires an expanded linear range of separation. Switch-time ramps increase the mobility of fragments as a function of molecular weight by gradually changing the switch times during the course of a run. Nonlinear ramps change the rate at which the switch time moves from the specified initial switch time to the specified final switch time. These nonlinear ramps (e.g., concave or convex) have been shown to provide very linear separations from 50–700 kb (Figure 3). Therefore, fragment sizes will be measured more precisely.

The multi-state mode of the CHEF Mapper system enhances resolution in selected fragment size ranges. Each vector (angle of pulse) can be assigned its own voltage (field intensity) and its own switch time (duration of pulse). Up to eight different states may be combined into one run to optimize the separation of subsets of fragments in the sample (Figure 4). The application of secondary pulses of defined voltage, duration, angle, and frequency can enhance the separation and resolution of very large DNA molecules (Figure 5). These secondary pulses may release DNA caught in the gel matrix.
