Methods and apparatus are presented that facilitate electrophoresis of prior-cast, hydratable separation media, usefully immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips. The method exploits the swelling of prior-cast, hydratable separation media upon rehydration to help lodge the media in an enclosing member that permits spaced electrical communication with the enclosed separation media. The electrical communication permits a voltage gradient to be established in the enclosed separation medium sufficient to effect separation of analytes therein. Cassettes, buffer cores, electrophoresis systems and kits are presented for effecting the methods of the invention.

Methods and apparatus for low resistance electrophoresis of prior-cast, hydratable separation media

A gel and buffer system for gel electrophoresis wherein separation occurs at neutral pH.

System for pH-neutral stable electrophoresis gel

Methods and apparatus for electrophoresis of prior-cast, hydratable separation media

A gel and buffer system for gel electrophoresis wherein the gel buffer has an approximately neutral pH.

System for PH-neutral stable electrophoresis gel

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.
