METHODS FOR PREPARING POLYACRYLAMIDE GELS FOR ELECTROPHORETIC ANALYSIS

摘要

A method and system for producing a polyacrylamide gel sample provides a container (30) with a bottle (32) and a cap assembly (34), the cap assembly (34) including a storage compartment (42) for storing premixed chemical materials in dry particulate form while the container contains the acrylamide solution (64). The premixed chemical materials are stored in the cap assembly (34) and subsequently released into the acrylamide solution (64) to form the polyacrylamide gel in situ within the confines of the container (30). A polyacrylamide gel sample for use in electrophoretic analysis can be manufactured so that a step of transferring gel stock solutions to an auxiliary container is avoided.
