Apparatus for filling an electrophoresis cassette of the type having a gel layer between two glass plates. The filling system includes a filling manifold which is brought into abutment with the bottom edges of the glass plates. A rubber gasket provides a seal between the manifold and the cassette, The gasket includes a trough extending along the bottom edge of the cassette which communicates with an opening adapted to receive an injector. Liquid gel material in the injector fills the cassette from the bottom to the top.

Electrophoresis cassette system with apparatus and method for filling

A spacer for an electrophoresis cassette of the type having front and rear plates, such as glass, with a gel material in the space between the plates in which electrophoresis separation is performed. The cassette includes a spacer between the plates in the form of a thin disk whose thickness is equal to the desired plate separation. A stud projects outwardly from the disk and is received in a hole in one of the plates to locate the stud. Preferably the stud is made of stainless steel.
