Abstract
A removal tool for sample well combs that is configured to aid in the extraction of a sample well comb from an electrophoresis gel. The removal tool may be either removably coupled to the sample well comb or may be permanently affixed to the sample well comb in order to provide a surface/region that is more easily graspable by a user to aid in the extraction of the sample well comb. The removal tool may include one or more engagement members that may be at least partially disposed within an opening of the sample well comb to couple the removal tool to the sample well comb. The removal tool may also include a mechanism that is configured to impart extraction forces to a surface in proximity to the sample well comb to further aid in the extraction of the sample well comb.
