Abstract:
Electrophoresis is performed simultaneously in a multitude of slab gels in a single cell that supports the slab gels vertically and parallel to each other while immersed in a buffer solution, and that applies a voltage to all gels simultaneously through a single pair of plate electrodes. Temperature control is achieved by circulating the buffer solution upward through the cell, entering near the base of each slab gel and leaving near the top, and cooling the circulating buffer solution with a tube heat exchanger positioned on the floor of the cell.
Abstract:
Flat plates serving as molds and enclosures for slab gels are held together by a clamping frame in which the side edges of the plates slide into facing channels and are clamped by lever-operated cams that compress the channel walls against the plate surfaces. The joined plates are held on a vertical support rack containing a finger-operated spring-loaded notched clamp that presses down on the plates to seal the opening at the bottom edges of the plates against a gasket. A well-forming comb for insertion between the plates contains flexible outwardly angled fingers to seal against the spacers between the plates.
