Miniature slab gel electrophoresis system

摘要

An electrophoresis system for separating organic molecules comprising a base, an electrophoresis tank mounted on the base, and electrical outlets mounted on the base connected to the tank and an external electrical power source. The electrophoresis tank includes a back plate mounted perpendicular to the base, the back plate having an upper reservoir adapted to receive a buffer fluid, a lower reservoir mounted on the base adjacent the back plate adapted to receive the fluid, a pair of sample plates having a layer of gel therebetween releasably mounted to the back plate, a plate clamping bar adjustably mounted on and parallel to the back plate adapted to retain and maintain the sample plates adjacent and parallel to the back plate, the layer of gel being adapted to permit the migration of the organic molecules contained in the gel layer upon application of an electric field from the power source.
