Abstract
A gel electrophoresis/electro-blot transfer apparatus comprising a buffer tank having a upper and lower section adapted to maintain a buffer solution, a support frame for supporting a gel slab, a first member for securing the gel slab in a substantially vertical direction in the support frame, a support frame for supporting a filter paper, gel slab, and a blotter membrane, a second member for securing the filter paper, gel slab, and membrane in intimate contact with the support frame. Assembly of the buffer tank, support frame, and securing means or the buffer tank and electro-blot support frame forms an upper buffer solution reservoir and a lower buffer solution reservoir substantially isolated from each other. The upper buffer solution reservoir and the lower buffer solution reservoir are electrically connected so that electrophoresis or electro-blot transfer can be performed.
