Abstract
A method is described for safely and effectively washing solid gels or films containing biological macromolecules such as proteins or nucleic acids. The method involves placing the gels in an open plastic container and decanting a wash solution horizontally so as to leave the gel at the bottom of the container without using external means to hold the gel down. The undamaged gel can then be safely removed and detection experiments can thus be carried out. A preferred apparatus for carrying out this method is also described and consists of an elongated open-topped side spouted tray.
