An improved plastic mold for the polymerization of electrophoresis gels. The improved electrophoresis gel mold comprises non-conductive plastic film. The film is supported by a rigid plastic frame. The frame maintains the integrity of the electrophoresis gel. The molds of the present invention are particularly useful in the manufacture of precast electrophoresis gels.

Plastic mold for electrophoresis gel

An improved coated plastic mold for the polymerization of electrophoresis gels. The mold controls the effects of oxygen contamination upon gel polymerization resulting in a more uniform gel with improved properties.

Coated plastic mold for electrophoresis gel

A method and apparatus for drying electrophoresis gels. The apparatus includes a base unit and gel drying frame assembly. The base unit serves as a both a support for the frame when placing the gel in the frame and as a receptacle for excess liquid used to prepare the gel for the drying process. The frame is used to securely hold the gel in place while preparing the gel for drying and also during the drying process itself.
