Abstract
A coloring-decoloring-drying apparatus for electrophoresis comprising a coloring-decoloring container having an opening used for insertion of the carrier and pouring coloring and decoloring liquid agents, rollers arranged in the vicinity of the opening of said coloring-decoloring container, and an inverted U-shaped drain pipe having one port located inside said container and in the vicinity of the bottom thereof and the other port located outside said container at a height lower than the bottom of said container, and adapted in such a manner that a carrier having been subjected to electrophoresis in an electrophoretic apparatus is fed into said coloring-decoloring container by operating said rollers, the tailing end of the carrier is held between said rollers, a coloring liquid agent is poured into said container through said opening for coloring said carrier while it is held in the condition described above, said coloring liquid agent is discharged through said drain pipe after said carrier has been colored, a decoloring liquid agent is poured for decoloring said carrier, said decoloring liquid agent is discharged after said carrier has been decolored, and then the carrier is dried by blowing hot air blast. Said coloring-decoloring-drying apparatus for electrophoresis is so designed as to be capable of performing coloring, decoloring and drying of a carrier without injuring or tearing the carrier and eliminate the necessity to arrange a valve for discharging the liquid agents.
