A Convenient Apparatus For Vertical Gel Electrophoresis

Abstract

Abstract An apparatus is described incorporating gel mold, electrode chambers, and direct-contact cooling plates. It eliminates several steps in preparing and handling the gel, and permits use of either rigid (starch) of flexible (acrylamide) gels. Electrophoretic analyses can be completed in 2-4 hr. Examples are given of serum and hemoglobin electrophoretic patterns obtained.
