APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ELECTROPHORESIS

摘要

A substantially closed cassette for conducting therein electrophoresis separation which includes a closed chamber (11), the chamber (11) includes therein a body of gel (18), at least one ion source (20, 22) having a volume smaller than the volume of the gel for providing ions for driving the electrophoresis separation and electrodes (24, 26) for connecting the cassette to an external electrical power source, thereby enabling to drive the electrophoresis separation. In a preferred embodiment the ion source is at least one ion exchange matrix (20, 22).
