METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FORMING WELLS IN AN ELECTROPHORESIS GEL SLAB

摘要

A device for forming angled wells in an electrophoresis gel slab includes a device (10) having a plurality of projections (14) oriented at an angle with respect to a longitudinal dimension of the device. A method for forming angled wells in a gel places the device in a gel forming material to polymerize to form the electrophoresis gel slab. The device can be removed from the gel slab without distorting or tearing the gel and forming a plurality of substantially uniform sample wells oriented at an angle with respect to the edge of the gel slab. The sample wells are dimensioned to contain a liquid sample for electrophoresis separation. The gel slab can be rotated 90 degrees so that the sample wells are oriented along a vertical edge of the gel slab with the sample wells retaining the liquid therein.
