摘要:
Electrophoresis gels are formed using a gel-forming insert having a beveled edge which results in loading sites having a beveled bottom surface. The gel forming insert can have a continuous beveled edge across the entire width of the gel, in which case a special loading insert is used which matches the bevel of the gel. Alternatively, the gel forming insert may be formed with a plurality of fingers with beveled ends, each finger defining a well in the gel. In one form of the gel-forming insert, the fingers are formed from a soft, flexible polymer such as silicone applied on a rigid support.

摘要:
An apparatus for the rapid preparation of electrophoresis gels comprises: (a) a housing; (b) a support fixture removably disposed within the housing and adapted to receive a gel holder having an internal gel compartment, the support fixture being optionally adapted to permit filling of the gel holder within the housing; (c) an optional injection system, which is connectible to a reservoir for holding a polymerizable solution; (d) an optional solution injection connector adapted to couple the injection system to a gel holder placed within the filling fixture, (e) an optional controller for the injection system, which causes the injection system to inject polymerizable solution from the reservoir into the gel compartment; and (f) a radiation source disposed within the housing in a location effective to irradiate polymierizable solution within the gel compartment of a gel holder in the support fixture. The support fixture may be mounted on a drawer which is slidable between a position inside the housing, and a position outside the housing to permit easy placement of a gel holder into the support fixture.
