Abstract
An electrophoresis cassette is provided including a thin, flat, rectangular, molded plastic front plate which overlies a thin, flat, rectangular, molded plastic back plate in opposing spaced apart relationship, the front and back plates being separated from each other by a thin, narrow, generally U-shaped embossment formed on the opposing surface of the back plate and extending along the two opposite side edges and the bottom edge of the back plate. A liquid-tight seal formed by an ultrasonic weld extends continuously along the embossment and joins the plates together, the plates defining therebetween a narrow gap for holding a gel medium. An elongated narrow groove is provided within the non-opposing surface of each plate and extends in substantially coinciding relation with the groove in the other plate across the bottom of the plates at a point just above the seal, the grooves forming at the bottom portion of the cassette a tab which can be easily broken off to expose the gel medium within the gap.
