摘要 |
The invention relates to a device and a method for automatically analysing the constituents of at least one analyte, especially by means of gel electrophoresis and/or isoelectric focussing, comprising at least one separating matrix, especially a gel. Each separating matrix is applied on at least one side in a supporting direction S of a supporting element, can be loaded with an analyte, and can be electrically contacted on opposite ends in a separating direction T in order to split the analyte into its constituents. The invention is characterised in that the supporting element is embodied in such a way that it enables a material-transferring process to take place from one side-in an access direction Z which is different from the support direction S and the separating direction T-essentially over the entire area of the separating matrix in which the constituents of the analyte are located after being separated, and in that the supporting element comprises a continuous sealing surface which essentially prevents said material-transferring process from taking place outside said area.
