Abstract
A vertical gel electrophoresis apparatus featuring a support plate mounted in a buffer solution container, the support plate securing a gel assembly in position and dividing the container into two laterally juxtaposed isolated chambers. The support plate includes two vertical support members which are mounted along opposite vertical sides of the container, and an integral support member mounted along the bottom of the container. A face is cut in each vertical support member to receive opposite vertical edges of a gel assembly. The integral bottom support member includes a face terminating at flanges proximate the vertical support members. The bottom edge of the gel assembly rests on the flanges over the face of the integral bottom support member. The gel assembly is sealed against the integral bottom support member isolating the top opening of the gel assembly from the bottom opening and the gel assembly effectively separates the container into two chambers with the bottom opening being exposed in one electrically charged chamber and the top opening being exposed in the other electrically charged chamber of the opposite polarity.
