GEL CASSETTE FOR ENHANCED ELECTROPHORETIC SEPARATION AND PROCESSES FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF

摘要

A gel cassette useful in electrophoretic separation of molecular fragments is disclosed, in which a gelatinous substrate is uniquely configured to concentrate similar separated fragments. Containment means is also disclosed which provides for the desired configuration of the substrate. The containment means further includes a cover design which locks into an open position to eliminate cross contamination. In addition, processes for the preparation of such cassettes and for use of the cassettes in separation and transfer apparatus are disclosed.
